Does this tripod have a place to hang a weight?

Does this tripod have a place to hang a weight?
Asked by: Marc
The central post does not have a hook to hang a weight. At the level of hinges (for the legs) there is an open "loop" from which you can hang a weight. Not sure if it was included for other purposes but it is large enough to hook a small carabiner and then a weight from it.

Can it be used as a monopod?

Can it be used as a monopod?
Asked by: Kristin
No. The center column is only about 12” long and is not removable as far as I can tell. This is however a very nice, light travel tripod with a very good ball head. I have used this on a number of trips, carrying it on my backpack. It is compact and light and easy to setup.

For the sake of weight and a more solid base ...

For the sake of weight and a more solid base would it be advisable to consider removing the long center column and using just the short replacement column? AND what is the height of the tripod fully extended at that height (without the tall center column)?
Asked by: Michael
The Vanguard VEO 2 235CB Carbon Fiber Tripod with Ball Head without the center column extended is 49 inches high. If one does not extend the original center column, it would be just as stable as using just a short center column.

Is the ball head removable

Is the ball head removable
Asked by: Dylan
According to Vanguard, yes, the ball head on the Vanguard VEO 2 235CB Carbon Fiber Tripod is removable. You would simply loosen the two (2) hex set screws under the head, lock down the head's adjustment dials so it does not move, and pop the head counterclockwise. The thread size on the male screw on the top of the center column is the standard ¼”-20 thread size. If you are using a tripod head that has the larger 3/8"-16 tripod thread size, you will need a reducer bushing to connect the tripod head to your tripod, such as the Oben 3/8"-16 to 1/4"-20 Reducer Bushing, B&H # OB1039.

Yes the Veo 2 235CB would be great for long exposure with a Nikon D500 with a Nikon 70-200mm or Tamron 150-600mm attached to it.
