Key Features:

Ultra-Tall and Sturdy Build:

• Maximum Height: Extends up to 1.8m (1805mm) without the need for a central column, making it ideal for taller photographers or situations where height is essential.
• Folded Length: When packed, the tripod folds down to a compact 865mm, making it convenient for transport.
• Lightweight and Durable: Crafted from high-quality carbon fibre, the tripod weighs 3.26kg with the levelling base and head, and 2.96kg with the flat platform, ensuring a balance between portability and strength.
• Load Capacity: The legs can support up to 25kg, and the VEO PV-18 video head has a maximum load capacity of 15kg, making this tripod perfect for professional cameras, heavy long lenses, or spotting scopes.

Precision Levelling Base:

• Removable Levelling Base: The tripod includes a 75mm aluminium levelling bowl with ±15° vertical movement and 360° panning capability. This offers precise control for adjusting the framing of your shots with ease.
• Versatile Flat Platform: A lightweight flat platform is included for situations where a non-levelling option is needed, and it features a reversible 3/8" or 1/4" thread for easy switching between equipment.

Advanced Stability and Flexibility:

• Twist-Lock Legs: The tripod features silent, easy-clean twist leg locks, designed to hold up to 25kg and ensure long-lasting durability. The legs have three easy-set angles (23°, 50°, and 80°), allowing for low-angle or macro photography.
• Retractable Feet: The tripod includes retractable rubber feet and stainless steel spiked feet for maximum stability on any terrain.

VEO PV-18 Arca-Compatible Video Head:

• Smooth Video Movements: The VEO PV-18 video head offers fluid motion, with telescopic handles for maximum control, and a damping mechanism for smooth vertical adjustments. The head supports a load of up to 15kg and features two oversized spirit levels for precise positioning.
• Arca-Swiss Compatibility: The video head comes with the extra-large QS-61P quick-release plate, compatible with Arca-Swiss systems, providing a secure base for larger cameras or spotting scopes.

Additional Features:

• Accessory Mounts: Equipped with a 3/8" thread and non-slip bayonet fittings, the tripod allows you to attach accessories such as magic arms or directional microphones, maximising the versatility of your setup.
• Luxury Padded Bag: The tripod comes with a high-quality, padded carrying bag for safe and convenient transport.
