VANGUARD VEO 3+ 263CT - CARBON FIBER TRIPOD

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

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

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

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

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

CARBON LEGS:

The VEO 3+ 263CT has 26mm diameter carbon fiber legs that offer a solid base with more lightness. An innovative button design allows you to easily adjust the legs to three angles (23°, 50°, and 80°) for maximum stability on any terrain. Together with the easy-to-adjust twist locks, the tripod can be set to its maximum height (163 cm), down to the ground for macro shots, or anywhere in between.

The tripod also features a leg that can be unscrewed to convert it into a monopod. Simply screwing this leg together with the central column results in a monopod that extends up to 173 cm.

The easy-to-set twist locks only need a half-turn to allow you to release or tighten the locking mechanism, letting you 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 thoroughly clean the legs when you return home, maximizing the tripod's lifespan.

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 that must be attached to the tripod to maximize shooting.

The top of the tripod features a thread that converts from 3/8" to 1/4" to suit different styles of tripod heads.

CARRYING CASE:

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

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

QUALITY:

The VEO 3+ series offers a step forward in quality 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 obtain specialized quality materials, such as solid blocks of aerospace-grade aluminum, which are then machined into key load-bearing components using techniques like diamond cutting technology, offering a precision that cannot be matched by traditional die-casting techniques.

These parts then receive cutting-edge treatments, such as Vanguard's advanced anodizing process, which provides maximum protection against corrosion and extends the product's lifespan.
