The VEO 3 303CT is a solid full sized carbon fibre tripod with a traditional up/down central column that is designed for photographers who value stability.  This is perfect for landscape photographers, or wildlife photographers using a long lens to get closer to the action.

Weighing just 1595g, this tripod includes 3-section, 30mm diameter legs incorporate silent, easy clean twist locks that can hold up to 25kg when locked. 

Perfect for almost any photographer, this tripod folds to 63cm and extends to 117cm, or 137cm 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 363CT.

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. 

Manufactured with CNC technology using aircraft grade aluminium for load bearing parts ensures outstanding quality, and for maintenance, the easy clean twist locks can be fully unscrewed, allowing you to clean the leg locks after use for maximum longevity.

Claire ★★★★★

Setup was quick and the locks feel reassuringly secure. The leg spread stops make a huge difference on uneven ground, and even with my heaviest lens setup it stays rock solid.

Jacob H. ★★★★★

I was shooting in some gusty winds by the coast and the 25kg capacity gave me real peace of mind—my long lens stayed rock steady even with the central column raised. The carbon build keeps it manageable for hiking without sacrificing any stability.

Emily P. ★★★★★

That central column is smooth as butter when I need those extra few inches for a low-angle shot, and the carbon build feels incredibly rigid even with my heavy 70-200 mounted. It's the first tripod that hasn't made me nervous on uneven terrain, rock solid through a whole day of shooting.
