Vanguard VEO2 265CB travel tripod

January 13, 2018 by Calvin Jones Leave a Comment

Vanguard VEO2 265CB Review

Pros: incredibly lightweight tripod and versatile ball-head suitable for both spotting scope and photography. Excellent height for a travel tripod. Cons: a little light to hold a full-size spotting scope steady in all but the calmest conditions (ideal for a small 50mm travel scope or even a 65mm standard scope though). Price: RRP GB£249.99 (c. €290 at time of … [Read more...] about Vanguard VEO2 265CB travel tripod

Gear Review: Vanguard Endeavor Bags

Vanguard Veo 235AP travel tripod

When you're travelling, or even if you simply have a way to walk from the car to a favourite viewing point, carrying a bulky scope and tripod can be a tiresome business. There are solutions out there of course -- things like scope carriers (I use the Cley Spy MulePack to tote around my Meopta Meostar S2 on our Discover Wildlife Experiences). They make carrying bulky … [Read more...] about Vanguard’s new travel tripod impresses
