Vanguard VEO3+263AB160S Reviews

Great tripod at a good price.

Love the tripod. Very flexible in terms of mounting and positioning of the extension tube. Lightweight yet solid build, and holds onto heavy body + lens combos without fail. Very happy with the purchase, compared to the multiple Manfrotto stick/heads we have, this Veo is much nicer. Would recommend!

Very versatile tripod

What makes this tripod amazingly versatile is the ability to position the center pole horizontally and then angle it up and down as desired. The lever release makes this operation smooth and effective. I have another high quality tripod that can position the center pole horizontally but it can't change the angle up and down. I have to do that by adjusting the legs. A bit clumsy at times. This tripod does it using the release lever. Much easier to do.

How much does the tripod weigh? And does the head drift any?
