Featuring robust 26mm legs, this tripod is engineered to provide stability and versatility, whether you're capturing stunning landscapes from the highest mountain or working in a controlled studio environment.

One of the standout features of the VEO 5 tripod is its intuitive design, highlighted by a newly-designed hexagonal center column. This unique structure allows the tripod to fold down to a remarkably compact diameter, facilitating easy packing and transport. Despite its lightweight construction, the VEO 5 does not compromise on the high-quality features that Vanguard tripods are renowned for. The tripod is available in models with either pan heads or dual-axis ball heads, offering adaptability to suit your specific gear requirements.

For enhanced stability on diverse terrains, the VEO 5 tripod is equipped with retractable spiked feet. Additionally, when your shot requires a lower angle, the center column can be effortlessly converted to a short column with just a few twists, providing flexibility in your shooting angles.

The VEO PH-38S three-way pan head is a key component of this tripod, designed for smooth and precise panning. Its user-friendly controls and ergonomic design make it ideal for both photo and video applications, as well as for use with compatible optics. The pan head features a top handle that rotates in 90-degree segments, accommodating both left- and right-handed photographers. The textured handle enhances grip and slip resistance, while the extendable handle folds down for compact storage.

Additional features of the VEO PH-38S pan head include an Arca-compatible quick release with a built-in safety pin, dual handles for frontal (180-degree) and lateral (90-degree) tilt, and a twist locking system for rapid and comprehensive control. The ergonomic, telescopic handles ensure fluid movement, and a bubble level aids in achieving perfect panoramic shots. The pan head also includes a QS-74 Quick Shoe plate and offers a 3/8" thread with a 1/4" reducer bushing.

Weighing just 1.4 lbs, the VEO PH-38S pan head supports a maximum load capacity of 22 lbs, making it both lightweight and robust. With a base diameter of 2.25", this tripod and pan head combination is designed to meet the demands of professional photographers and videographers seeking reliability and precision in their equipment. Each VEO 5 tripod also comes with an upscale padded shoulder bag for convenient transport.
