Category: Tripods Aluminum

The VEO 3 303AB is a solid full sized aluminium tripod with an Arca compatible dual axis ball head and a traditional up/down central column that holds up to 25kg, perfect for photographers who value stability.  

Weighing 2.6kg, this tripod includes 3-section, 30mm diameter legs that incorporate silent, easy clean twist locks and can hold up to 25kg. 

Perfect for almost any photographer, this tripod folds to 75cm and extends to 183cm, or 149cm with the central column down.

For added stability, there is a retractable hook to attach additional weight, and the rubber feet come off to allow the spiked feet provided to be attached.

For low angle, or macro shots, the tripod comes with three easy-set leg angles  (20°, 50° and 80°) and a low angle adaptor.  Alternatively, simply reverse the central column and you're ready to go.

On the side of the central canopy spider are two 3/8" threads for tripod support arms, allowing you to attach the accessories of your choice.  These threads include bayonet slots on either side that ensure maximum stability on tripod support arms with that feature, such as the VEO TSA DLX which has a reversible plate for bayonet/non-bayonet fittings.

If you want to be able to attach additional accessories to the central column, or set up the tripod for overhead shots, you could consider the VEO MT-12 Multi-Mount.

To maximise stability, there is no monopod option with this tripod. If this is important we would recommend you consider the VEO 3 263AB.

On top of the tripod is a 58mm base plate that includes a reversible 1/4" to 3/8" thread that can be used to fit any tripod head. This can then be secured to the tripod using the screws on the base plate. 

Fitted to the base plate is an Arca compatible VEO BH-250S Dual Axis ball head with 25kg load capacity. This allows you level your tripod in seconds on any terrain without needing to adjust the legs individually so you can get the perfect level and shoot panoramas or reframe your shot.

Timothy H. ★★★★★

The dual axis ball head locks down rock solid even with my heavy 70-200mm setup, and the 25kg rating gives me real peace of mind. The up/down center column feels buttery smooth when I need to adjust height quickly. It's a chunky beast to carry, but that's the trade-off for this much stability.

Edward R. ★★★★★

I was hauling this tripod up a rocky trail and the 25kg capacity gave me real confidence with my heavy telephoto lens. The central column glides up and down smoothly, which made adjusting height a breeze for low-angle shots.

Steven E. ★★★★★

The dual axis ball head locks down tight with zero drift, even when I mounted my heaviest lens setup. The 25kg capacity gives me total confidence for studio work. Raising the central column is smooth and quick, no annoying wobble.
