With the press of an ergonomically positioned thumb-release button, the aluminum legs independently open to three positions to level the tripod on uneven terrain, and to spread fully for floor-level positioning. The legs feature removable rubber feet, and a set of steel spike feet is included for use in icy conditions.

Vanguard VEO 3+ 263AP Tripod Reviews

A great all-around tripod.

By Dillon

An excellent, sturdy, and well-built option for those who don't need to stow a tripod in a back pack. The P/T head works well enough for my simple use-case, and the boom ability is easy to use with a modern mirror less camera for overhead or tabletop shots.

High Quality Tripod

Folded length 30.5"? Does that mean it is a studio tripod and cannot be carried on the backpad??
Asked by: Neil
Although the folded length would not allow this tripod to be carried on a backpack easily, it would still be a suitable option for someone working in or out of the studio.
