The Vanguard VEO 3T 204CBP Carbon Fibre Tripod with BP-45T Ball Head is designed as a solution for bloggers, streamers, photographers, and videographers on the go. It provides maximum stability for streaming on social media or capturing wildlife, street, and travel photography. It comes equipped with an innovative and versatile VEO 2 BP-45T Arca-type-compatible ball/pan head with a removable panhandle, making it ideal for photographers who also want options for video. To help get the most from a smartphone, the VEO 3T includes a QS-72T quick release plate that changes from a traditional plate to a smartphone holder, accommodating devices up to 3.33" wide, plus a convenient Bluetooth remote control trigger that is compatible with IOS or Android phones. When in smartphone mode, the QS-72T quick release plate includes a cold shoe mount for an accessory such as a lighting unit or microphone, as well as an additional 1/4"-20 thread hole on the side to add even more accessories. Strong carbon-fiber legs can reliably support 8.8 pounds, yet fully invert upward to help save packing space. The legs feature twist lock joints for easy cleaning and reassembly, making it possible to remove sand and other debris to prolong the life of the tripod.
