"Hello I have a canon tripod got out of my mothers attic and I was just looking online to get an idea because I was going to list on eBay. And I’ll search for canon tripods, and it just comes back tripods for Canon. Just wanted to see if you know anything about this item, or the value of it. I believe it is carbon fiber. Don’t know if there’s any way to email. But patlynn13@yahoo.com I would much appreciate any information. Thank you." - Pat From NJ

Hi Pat,

Thanks for asking about a Canon tripod. To the best of my knowledge, Canon has never actually made their own tripods, but has a few times attached their logo to 3rd party tripods for marketing purposes.

I have only been shooting with Canon equipment since digital photography started growing in popularity on the scene around 2002 and have never used a tripod from Canon. If you knew the exact model # it might help with searching for it elsewhere on the internet. The fact that it's got a nice tripod head on it and that it's a carbon fiber tripod will help its value.

The Canon tripod in your mom's attic is likely older than 20 years old. I wrote a post on Canon tripods quite a while ago, and at that time, Canon had stopped selling tripods with the Canon logo on them. Here's the post: Canon Tripods.

Good Luck,
Bruce

Canon Tripod

Hi, I have the same tripod. Canon sold it in the late 1990s early 2000s. It was made by Velbon as Canon really didn't make their own tripods. The legs are tubular aluminum and have twist ring leg locking. Mine came with a 3-way head and not the ball type that your photo shows.
I really like mine and I was searching for a backup. I don't know how old or recent this post is.
