Vanguard Vesta Go 264CP Carbon Travel Tripod with 2-Way Pan Head – 26mm Legs

The VESTA GO 264CP is a no nonsense, solid carbon fibre travel tripod kit that is designed for maximum portability, but is still delivers a stable base for most everyday camera kits and any spotting scopes.

This CNC machined travel tripod kit consists of an carbon fibre tripod and an Arca Swiss compatible 2-way pan-head. With a maximum load capacity of 5kg, this combination is perfect for creating videos with most mirrorless or smaller DSLR sized camera kits, and is great for smaller spotting scopes.

This 26mm travel kit is the most stable option and weighs just 1395g, while the 4-sections allow it to fold down to 47.5cm to make it easy to transport. For ease of carrying, these tripods have also been designed to be compact with a diameter of 11.5cm, making them easy to fit into your hand on the go.

Despite the portability, these tripods extend to 166cm, or 132cm without using the central column. There is also a spring hook attached to the base of the central column to allow you to attach extra weight for maximum stability.

For macro/low-angle shots, this travel tripod has three easy set leg angles (20°, 50° and 80°) and it includes a split central column that allows you to get down to just 21cm in seconds for low angle shots.

It also includes an Arca compatible VEO PH-24 2-way pan-head with a comfortable handle that allows you to lock and release the vertical tilt with ease, and a separate pan lock. This makes it a great solution for following movement with a spotting scope, or creating video with your camera.

This tripod also includes a QS-55P quick release plate that includes a non-twist spring pin that ensures a solid fit to your spotting scope, while still being able to use a camera with ease.

Alternatively, if you have a spotting scope with an Arca compatible foot, you can slot it straight in to the clamp on the tripod head, removing the need for a quick release plate and ensuring the most solid fitting between the tripod and your spotting scope.
