Vanguard VESTA GO 204AB Aluminium BH Tripod

The Vanguard VESTA GO 204AB Aluminium BH Tripod is a no nonsense, lightweight and compact aluminium travel tripod kit that is designed for maximum portability, but is still delivers a stable base for most everyday camera kits.

The CNC machined Vanguard VESTA GO 204AB Aluminium BH travel tripod kit consists of an aluminium tripod and an Arca Swiss compatible ball-head. With a maximum load capacity of 3kg, this combination is perfect for most mirrorless or smaller DSLR sized camera kits.

The Vanguard VESTA GO 204AB Aluminium BH Tripod 20mm travel kit weighs just 1130g and the 4-sections allow it to fold down to 38.5cm for maximum portability. For ease of carrying, these tripods have also been designed to be compact with a diameter of 10cm, making them easy to fit into your hand on the go.

Despite the portability, the Vanguard VESTA GO 204AB Aluminium BH Tripod extend to 138cm, or 113cm without using the central column. There is also a spring hook attached to the base of the central column to allow you to attach extra weight for maximum stability.

For macro/low-angle photography, the Vanguard VESTA GO 204AB Aluminium BH travel tripod has three easy set leg angles (20°, 50° and 80°) and it includes a split central column that allows you to get down to just 21cm in seconds for low angle shots.

The Vanguard VESTA GO 204AB Aluminium BH Tripod also includes an Arca compatible ball head with a single large locking knob for ease of tightening/loosening in the field, and a QS-74 quick release plate. This head has a compact 36mm base and is attached to the tripod with a reversible 1/4" to 3/8" thread, secured with grub screws to ensure that it doesn't come loose in use.

The Vanguard VESTA GO 204AB Aluminium BH Tripod also includes a smartphone adaptor that can be attached to your quick release place to make the most of your smartphonography. If this is a style you want to build on then we'd recommend adding the VEO BT-11 Bluetooth remote control for IOS and Android smartphones.

On the Vanguard VESTA GO 204AB Aluminium BH Tripod canopy are two 3/8" thread holes with non-twist bayonet slots and a 1/4" thread adaptor. These allow you to attach up to two simple magic arms (such as the VEO TSA Tripod Support Arm), or up to two premium magic arms (such as the VEO TSA DLX Tripod Support Arm) and unleash your creativity.

The VESTA Go series also includes a choice of leg locks. The aluminium models include simple lever locks, while the carbon models include easy clean twist locks. Both options allow you to set up/take down your tripod fast, but if you plan to use your tripod by the sea or in muddier, then we'd recommend the easy clean twist locks to help maximise the life of your tripod with proper maintenance.

The feet of the tripod are rubber for a solid grip, without damaging any surface.
