Vanguard VEO 3 GO 265HCB Tripod with BH-120 B... Overview

From Manufacturer

This VEO 3 GO 265HCB Carbon Fiber Tripod/Monopod with BH-120 Ball Head from Vanguard is a support system that features a tripod with a detachable leg and removable center column that can be combined to form a monopod with a 66.9" height. Cameras, lenses, or sport optics that are compatible with a 1/4"-20 mount can be connected to the included quick release plate, which is secured to the tripod/monopod's ball head using an Arca-type quick release clamp. The BH-120 Ball Head is removable, provides up to a 91° tilt for portrait orientation and 360° of independent rotation, and can be locked into place along its range of movement. Also provided is a smartphone connector and a Bluetooth remote, allowing the monopod formed by the detachable leg and removable center column to be used as a smartphone selfie stick.

When configured as a tripod, the VEO 3 GO 265HCB Carbon Fiber Tripod/Monopod with BH-120 Ball Head supports up to 22.0 lb and measures 16.1" when folded. Each of its 5-section legs features an independent spread, a 3-position angle lock, and twist locks for rapid deployment. As a tripod, it can be set to a minimum height when its removable, push-and-pull, rapid center column is substituted with the included Low-Angle Adapter. Together, the three legs can be extended to obtain a maximum height of 49.6 or 65.5" when used with the center column fully raised. Each of the carbon fiber legs includes a rubber foot, and to further enhance stability on a wide variety of surfaces, including soft or uneven soil, a set of spiked feet is also provided.

For added versatility, the center column is reversible, facilitating lower-angle photography where an attached camera is positioned among the tripod's legs instead of above them.

A carry bag is provided for storage and transport.

Vanguard VEO 3 GO 265HCB Tripod with BH-120 B... Reviews

It's rubbish

By Victor
Rated 1 out of 5

For God's sake, don't buy this junk. It's low quality. Try putting the battery in the remote shutter release and you'll break it, since it's made of such cheap plastic. The tripod head doesn't even adjust properly when you try to attach the plate. You'll get frustrated turning the little wheels to extend the legs. The same day it arrived, it went in the trash. Buy a Manfrotto, not this kind of garbage.

Great Travel Tripod

By Michael

It's light, tall, and sturdy. I saw the other review complaining about the lack of rigidity, and tried it out. Well, it's very rigid when the center column is retracted, and less so when extended. To be honest, this is expected. You're buying a travel tripod that is light and small and portable. It's not going to compete in terms of rigidity with the big and heavy tripods that you don't wish to haul around while you travel. If you're willing to sacrifice some height and retract the center column to the minimum you'll get a very rigid tripod at a decent height. If you're still not satisfied, you can retract the thinner feet as well for even more rigidity. But if you ever want the extra height and care less about rigidity (aka. you're not doing long exposure), you'll have that option as well. And if you're limited in space, you can easily convert it to a really tall monopod. All in all, it's a really versatile tripod and if you're anywhere below 6'7 it should comfortably reach your eye level.
