Very sturdy tripod. Also love that it comes with a bag so carrying it around is super easy.

Heavy enough for a quality camera and lens, light enough to travel with you easily. This tripod is extremely sturdy and seems to be of good quality. I expect to get many years of use from it.

Great portable tripod. I use it for mobile videography and the ball head is nice for switching from portrait to landscape. Easy to adjust and quite stable for a travel tripod

This is the first tripod I bought. I was looking for something that was lightweight and great for travelling. I love the flipping leg locks as it makes it much easier to set up and pack the tripod. I prefer this over the twisting locks. The weight rating is okay, not superb. Overall, it's a great tripod to use for any mirrorless setup.

Very light and also very sturdy. Easy to set up and mount camera. Was able to take some very clear astrophotography images on the first try!

Purchased this for my astronomical binoculars. Works perfect! Light enough to be mobile, sturdy enough to hold a big binoculars.

This is a big upgrade from what I have. Space and weight are always an issue when traveling or hiking. I think I can bring this most places without much trouble.

Recently purchased this portable tripod. So far it has been great with how portable it is. The flexibility is great and build quality is very good.

The thought of having a tripod that would be easy to travel with is appealing; however this one IS NOT for an SLR. Although it is advertised to have a capacity of 13.2 pounds, it would not hold my Canon 77D and Tamron 18-400 lens steady enough to even focus on the subject, let alone take a picture. This might be great for your iPhone or point and shoot, but not for serious photography.

Good stability with other than a long lens.

The Vanguard VEO 235AB is a nice little tripod. Flipping the main section to bring it to the upright position takes a bit of getting used to, but is quick and easy once you get the hang of it, and that's what makes it so compact. And, for a compact tripod, it's very sturdy and will support most any typical DSLR and lens combination. It extends to nearly 5 feet, which is perfect for most people. The ball head and quick release plate work smoothly and are well-designed. Rubber coating on the upper legs make it easier to grip, especially in cold weather. And finally, the carry bag has a should strap to make it easy to carry.

More than i hoped for, was looking for an alternative to a giant, heavy tripod....this fulfilled my wishes and more. Tripod is very solidly built, very portable, and full of adjustments to help you get that great shot....love it, would highly recommend for someone like me (hobbyist) looking for a great tripod for the value

I've had everything from the cheap aluminum, to the pricey carbon fiber, not only is this tri-pod good for the money, it's just down right good. Solid, sturdy, and easy to carry. Zero complaints.

It has a good size, weight is a little heafty but I think its because of the smaller size. It clamps down nicely and is solid carrying my camera.

The VEO 235AB offers photographers the ultimate balance between low weight and stability in a full-featured ball head aluminum tripod kit. Quickly swing the VEO column into place, connect your camera and you're ready to shoot in a moment's notice. Stable 23mm legs combined with a new leg lock design, which allows you to adjust the tightness, ensures sturdiness to support cameras up to a Pro DSLR with grip and long lens. The VEO 235AB also works well for owners of standard DSLR cameras or Mirrorless 4/3 camera kits.
The strong ball-head includes an Arca Swiss compatible plate for quick camera attachment and release. With feet that can be converted from rubber to spikes, you'll be ready to shoot in urban or outdoor environments. Easily position legs to three angles with the simple push of a button. With the included adapter, adventurous photographers can capture low angle shots. A stylish design with soft rubber handle provides an unbeatable grip. Use the included carrying case when you are ready to take the VEO on your next photo adventure.
