VANGUARD ANNOUNCES ITS 'MOST STABLE TRIPOD EVER'

Vanguard has unveiled what Vit says is its most stable tripod ever, the VEO 3+ 303. It's available in aluminium or carbon fiber versions, and even the heavier aluminum model is still comfortably portable at 2.3kg, yet can support a huge 25kg of camera gear

Three-section legs mean a relatively long folded length of 67cm, but the VEO 3+ 303 can reach a 139cm maximum height, or 165cm with the central column extended. Having fewer leg sections is good news for tripod rigidity, as there are fewer joints where leg flex could occur. A relatively large 30mm leg diameter further enhances the stiffness of the VEO 3+ 303, and you won't find a removable leg/monopod conversion feature either, again in the pursuit of maximum rigidity.
