Vanguard Veo 2S AM-234TR 23mm Aluminium Monopod + Smartphone Kit

The Vanguard VEO 2S AM-234TR is a lightweight, compact, portable, aluminium monopod with foldable tri-feet for added stability.

Whether you’re looking to lighten your load, or need additional stability in a location where a tripod won’t work, this monopod could be the ideal solution for shooting photo or video. With the potability of a monopod and the added tri-feet, you have increased stability and functionality over a monopod, while maintaining a tiny footprint.

The 23mm aluminium monopod leg weighs just 805g and can take a maximum load capacity of 10kg, more than enough to cope with all but the largest DSLR or Mirrorless kits.

Mount your camera directly on to the monopod 1/4″ thread (or using a 3/8″ adaptor), or if desired add a small ball head or compact video pan head.

The ½” turn lock/unlock twist leg locks allow set-up in seconds and rapid height adjustments, allowing you to shoot at the level you need for the shot, from 52cm to 155cm.

The tri-feet are permanently fixed, but flip up for transporting the monopod, but can be deployed fast with just a finger. The base also includes a ball joint which can be tightened for maximum stability, or loosened to allow more dynamic movement, for example, tracking a moving subject. In addition, the tri-feet allows you to pan using the monopod itself

The VEO 2S also includes a universal Smart Phone Connector and Bluetooth remote control for IOS and Android smartphones, which comes in handy when shooting long videos on your phone, or looking for that extra stability for that perfect shot. In addition, it allows the VEO 2S monopod to be used for internet calls, vlogging or for watching online content such as movies or YouTube.

The added carabiner and wrist strap make moving from location to location fast and effective, and all in all this is an excellent monopod to use anywhere and everywhere, including locations where a tripod is not allowed or isn’t practical!

Your VEO 2S monopod can travel anywhere. Shooting at the beach, in dirty conditions while taking landscape images or seizing unexpected moments of wildlife. Clean-up is a snap! The new open to click twist leg locks allow for easy fresh water rinsing after working in most demanding environments.

Here Jeremy from Vanguard shares an overview following a recent trip to Chichester Harbour using the 26mm carbon version:

Please note that monopods with tri-feet are not designed to be left unattended with a camera attached as the the smaller footprint means that they are easier to knock over.
