The Vanguard **VEO 2S AM-234TR** is a lightweight, compact, portable, aluminium monopod with foldable tri-feet for added stability.
Whether you're looking to lighten your load, or need additional stability in a location where a tripod won't work, this monopod could be the ideal solution for shooting photo or video. With the potability of a monopod and the added tri-feet, you have increased stability and functionality over a monopod, while maintaining a tiny footprint.
The 23mm aluminium monopod leg weighs just 805g and can take a maximum load capacity of 10kg, more than enough to cope with all but the largest camera kits.
Mount your camera directly on to the monopod 1/4" thread, or you may wish to add a suitable head (the largest heads may need a 3/8" adaptor).
The 1/2 turn lock/unlock twist leg locks allow set-up in seconds and rapid height adjustments, allowing you to shoot at the level you need for the shot, from 52cm to 155cm.
The tri-feet are permanently fixed, but flip up for transporting the monopod, but can be deployed fast with just a finger. The base also includes a ball joint which can be tightened for maximum stability, or loosened to allow more dynamic movement, for example, tracking a moving subject. In addition, the tri-feet allows you to pan using the monopod itself.
The VEO 2S also includes a universal **Smart Phone Connector** which comes in handy when shooting long videos on your phone, or looking for that extra stability for that perfect shot. In addition, it allows the VEO 2S monopod to be used for internet calls, vlogging or for watching online content such as movies or YouTube. It also includes a **Bluetooth remote control** that is compatible with IOS or Android phones to trigger your photo or video.
The added carabiner and wrist strap make moving from location to location fast and effective.
Your VEO 2S monopod can travel anywhere. Shooting at the beach, in dirty conditions while taking landscape images or seizing unexpected moments of wildlife. Clean-up is a snap! The easy clean leg locks make it easy to rinse in fresh water after working in most demanding environments, maximising the life of your monopod.
So if you're looking for something that delivers more stability than a traditional monopod, but you don't have the space to set up a tripod such as concerts or sporting events, then check out the VEO 2S monopods.
