'''Velbon''' is a Japanese manufacture of tripods and was originally established in Kobe (神戸市) on March 11th 1955<ref>[https://velbon.net/company/history.html Velbon company history]</ref> as Sansei Photo. The company was split into two parts shortly after, Hakuba Photo and Velbon. The origins of the name Velbon comes from the words '''ver'''y and '''bon''' (good in French). The name sounds like ''ringing a bell'' in Chinese, so the brand '''Golden Bell''' is used in China.
