VANGUARD is proud to introduce the VEO 3+ Series, which is the result of over 30 years of in-house design experience as well as collaboration with professional photographers from around the world. This all-in-one tripod series is sturdy and elegant, but truly stands out for its extraordinary versatility.

All VEO 3+ tripods come with a versatile, market-leading multi-angle center column (MACC) that offers both versatility and stability. The easy-to-use MACC can move almost 360° in any direction and, combined with the three easy-to-adjust leg angles, makes the VEO 3+ perfect for any style of photography - going from macro shots with the lens at ground level, to vertical landscape shots in seconds.

With the MACC horizontal and thanks to the included VEO+ MA1 adapter, you can use it as if it were a multi mount. The VEO+ MA1 adapter simply slides over the center column to create another attachment point, allowing you to attach additional equipment to the tripod to enhance any shot, whether it's a second head, flash, lighting, microphone and more.

The MACC also comes with a scale at the base of the center column and on the center column itself that allows you to repeat a series of shots over time with ease.

Despite this flexibility, when locked down, the MACC provides an incredibly stable platform at any angle, and features a retractable and removable hook at the base of the center column to attach additional weight for added stability when needed.

30mm ALUMINUM LEGS

The VEO 3+ 303ABS has 30mm diameter aluminum legs that provide a solid base and optimal footing. An innovative push-button design allows the legs to be easily adjusted to three angles (23°, 50° and 80°) for maximum stability on any terrain. Together with the easy-to-adjust swivel locks, the tripod can be set up at its maximum height (of 177.4 cm), all the way to the ground for macro shots, or anywhere in between.

The easy-setting swivel locks only need half a turn to allow you to release or tighten the locking mechanism, allowing you to deploy your tripod in seconds, and lock the legs solidly. They are also incredibly easy to clean, allowing you to use the tripod in more extreme conditions to capture that perfect shot, knowing you can clean the legs thoroughly when you return home, maximizing the life of the tripod.

For maximum stability on any surface, the tripod comes with rubber feet that can be replaced with spiked feet (included).

The tripod canopy includes a 3/8" thread for an additional support arm (not included), allowing access to a wide range of accessories to be attached to the tripod to maximize shooting.

The superior part of the tripod features a thread that converts from 3/8" to 1/4" to accommodate different head styles.

DUAL-AXIS BALL HEAD I SEE BH-250S

The Dual Axis Ball Head BH-250S is an Arca Swiss compatible ball head that allows an additional swivel from the hot shoe mount, in addition to the usual axis at the base of the head, allowing for more precise positioning. This system allows you to pan and sweep both horizontally and vertically while correcting for horizontality on top of the ball. This dual-axis ball head system combined with the off-center column allows panning at any angle and position. The BH-250S is specially designed for heavy equipment such as telephoto lenses, supporting a maximum load of up to 25kg.

CARRYING BAG:

It is rare for a tripod bag to be more than a passing mention in a product description, but the tripod bag designed specifically for the VEO 3+ series demonstrates the attention to detail of the design team at VANGUARD.

This padded shoulder bag is designed to keep your tripod secure with full zipper access and an internal zippered accessory pocket. With two carrying handles and adjustable shoulder strap, this high quality tripod bag makes it easy and comfortable to carry your VEO 3+ tripod anywhere you are exploring.

QUALITY:

The VEO 3+ series offers a step forward in quality that has been delivered by VANGUARD 's investment in Computer Numerical Control (CNC) engineering technology, backed by high quality materials.

The precise engineering available through CNC allows VANGUARD to source specialized quality materials, such as solid blocks of aircraft-grade aluminum, which are then machined into key load-bearing components through techniques such as diamond cutting technology, which offers precision that cannot be matched by traditional die-casting techniques.

These parts then receive state-of-the-art treatments, such as the advanced anodizing process of VANGUARD, which offers maximum corrosion protection and prolongs product life.
