Vanguard VESTA GO 234AP G2 Aluminium Video Tripod with Veo PH-24 Video Head

The VESTA GO 234AP 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 and most spotting scopes. This CNC machined travel tripod kit consists of an aluminium tripod and an Arca Swiss compatible 2-way pan-head. With a maximum load capacity of up to 5kg, this combination is perfect for creating videos with most mirrorless or smaller DSLR sized camera kits, and is great for smaller spotting scopes.

This 23mm travel kit weighs just 1465g and the 4-sections allow it to fold down to 44.5cm for maximum portability. For ease of carrying, these tripods have also been designed to be compact with a diameter of 12cm, making them easy to fit into your hand on the go. Despite the portability, these tripods extend to 154cm, or 123cm 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 shots, this 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. It also includes an Arca compatible VEO PH-24 2-way pan-head with a comfortable handle that allows you to lock and release the vertical tilt with ease, and a separate pan lock. This makes it a great solution for following movement with a spotting scope, or creating video with your camera.

They also include a smartphone adaptor that can hold any smartphone between 54-87mm wide and can be attached to your quick release plate (or any magic arm with a 1/4" thread) to make the most of your smartphonography.

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.
