Head & Precision Control
VEO BH-250S Dual-Axis Ball Head
The BH-250S ball head supports micro-adjustments using dual independent axes, allowing precise levelling without disrupting the ball joint position. It includes Arca compatibility, a separate pan lock, and a built-in bubble level.
Panorama & Levelling

Low-Angle & Macro Shooting
Low-Angle Adapter
The included low-angle adapter enables macro shooting at a minimum working height of 270 mm. You can also reverse the central column for even lower perspectives.
Leg Angle Adjustments
Three leg angle choices—20°, 50°, and 80°—allow you to adapt quickly for wide, low, or elevated shooting situations.
Mounting & Expandability

The canopy includes two 3/8” threads with bayonet fittings for securely attaching support arms, including the VEO TSA DLX, which offers reversible bayonet and non-bayonet connection options.
