Purpose Built for Spotting Scopes

The included VEO PH-28 two-way pan head has been specifically engineered for birdwatching and nature observation.

A single telescopic handle controls both pan and tilt movement, allowing you to smoothly follow birds in flight before locking your scope instantly when your subject lands.

The head offers:

• Smooth 360° panning

• Tilt range from -91° to +30°

• Comfortable one-handed operation

• Bubble level for accurate setup

This intuitive design leaves your free hand available for adjusting focus or zoom on your spotting scope.

Arca Compatible for Secure Mounting

The PH-28 head features a fully Arca Swiss compatible clamp.

If your spotting scope includes an Arca-compatible foot, it mounts directly to the head.

For scopes using a traditional mounting foot, Vanguard includes the QS-55P Arca quick-release plate, featuring a spring-loaded anti-twist pin that helps prevent the plate from loosening during use.

Lightweight Carbon Fibre Performance

Built using premium carbon fibre legs combined with precision CNC-machined aluminium components, the VEO 5 264CO delivers outstanding rigidity while remaining remarkably lightweight.

Key features include:

• 26mm diameter carbon fibre legs

• Four-section design

• Easy-clean twist locks

• Folded length of just 58cm

• Weight of only 1.92kg

Its compact folded diameter of just 9.25cm also makes it exceptionally easy to carry.

Innovative Hexagonal Centre Column

One of the standout features of the VEO 5 Series is its unique hexagonal centre column.

This innovative design allows:

• Legs to fold closer together for a slimmer profile

• Compatibility with traditional hide clamps

• Reduced overall weight

• Greater rigidity

The lower section of the centre column can also be removed to reduce weight even further when maximum portability is required.

Built-In Low Angle Capability

The centre column incorporates a removable low-angle adaptor, allowing the tripod to be configured for extremely low shooting positions.

Combined with the three adjustable leg angles of:

• 23°

• 50°

• 80°

the tripod can be positioned as low as 21cm, making it ideal for photographing wildlife, fungi, flowers and low-level landscapes.

Stable on Any Terrain

Designed for demanding outdoor use, the VEO 5 264CO includes several features that maximise stability wherever you're working.

These include:

• Retractable rubber and stainless steel spike feet

• Weight hook for additional stability

• Easy-clean twist locks

• Strong carbon fibre construction

Whether you're birdwatching from a hide or photographing wildlife on uneven ground, the tripod remains secure and dependable.

Expand Your Setup

The tripod canopy incorporates 3/8-inch accessory threads, allowing compatible support arms and accessories to be attached.

These include bayonet locating slots that provide additional rigidity when used with accessories such as the Vanguard VEO TSA DLX support arm, making it easy to mount binoculars, cameras, microphones or lighting accessories alongside your spotting scope.
