Overview
The Vanguard VEO 3+ 263CB Carbon Fibre Pro Tripod / Monopod with BH-160S Ball Head is a premium all-in-one support system built for creators who need maximum versatility, stability, and precision. Featuring the industry-leading Multi-Angle Central Column (MACC), a dual-axis ball head, a monopod conversion leg, and CNC-engineered components, it adapts seamlessly to landscape, macro, studio, and video workflows.
Multi-Angle Central Column (MACC)
The MACC system rotates almost 360° in any direction, providing unmatched creative freedom from ground-level macro shots to elevated landscape angles.
MACC as Multi-Mount
Paired with the included VEO+ MA1 adaptor, the MACC becomes a multi-mount capable of holding accessories such as lights, microphones, monitors, or additional cameras.
Repeatable Precision
Graduated markings on the base and column let you repeat shot positioning for time-lapse, panoramic, or product workflows.
Legs & Stability
Carbon Fibre Leg Construction
The 26 mm three-section carbon fibre legs provide a solid base with fast, easy-clean twist locks and three angle options (23°, 50°, 80°) controlled via an innovative push-button mechanism.
Monopod Conversion
One leg converts into a full-height monopod. Combine it with the centre column to achieve heights up to 1825 mm.
Feet & Stability Enhancements
Rubber feet are included and can be swapped for the supplied spiked feet. A removable, retractable hook lets you add counterweight for extra stability.
Ball Head & Controls
VEO BH-160S Dual-Axis Ball Head
The Arca-compatible BH-160S features an oversized locking knob for secure operation, even with gloves. It supports up to 15 kg and includes a spirit bubble, smooth panning, and dual pan-lock controls.
Precision Movement
The grading scale around the base enhances panoramic stitching accuracy, while the second pan-lock enables fine adjustments without disturbing the head’s main position.
Bag & Transport
Premium Carry Bag
The included high-quality padded shoulder bag features full zip access, internal storage, and comfortable carry straps for protection and convenience during travel.
Engineering & Build Quality
CNC Machined Components
Load-bearing parts are machined from aircraft-grade aluminium using diamond-cut technology for superior precision and durability. Vanguard’s advanced anodising process enhances corrosion resistance and product longevity.
