Vanguard VESTA GO 234CP G2 Carbon Fibre Pan Head Tripod

The VESTA GO 234CP is a no nonsense, lightweight and compact carbon fibre 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 carbon fibre 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.

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.
