VEO PV-14 Arca Compatible Video Head (to 8kg)

The VEO PV-14 is a lightweight CNC machined Arca compatible closed bridge video head with a maximum load capacity of 8kg that delivers a smooth fluid like movement, suitable for almost any video camera (or a spotting scope or long lens).

As a "closed bridge" video head it has the traditional two points of contact either side of the body, as opposed to an "open bridge" design with one point of contact to save a little weight without compromising stability (like on the VEO PV-18).

The head includes slim, but long Arca compatible QS-71P quick release plate to provide a secure base for your video camera to attach to the head. This includes an adjustable thread and a non-twist spring pin that ensures your video camera is always aiming true and not coming loose in use.

This allows you to fit your camera (or spotting scope or long lens) to the Arca compatible quick release system in seconds.  Simply slot the quick release plate into the clamp and tighten.  To remove, just loosen the clamp and press down button to lower the non-slip safety pin and lift out.

As this head includes an Arca compatible clamp, if your spotting scope or long lens has an Arca compatible foot, then it can fit directly into the clamp for the most solid fit possible.

When setting up, the head includes a spirit bubble that allows you to check your head is level.

In use, the head has a removable 215mm long handle which can be set up for left or right handed use.  This can then be loosened and folded up alongside your tripod for packing away.

On the side of the head is an oversized vertical locking knob that allows the head to be set at -45° to +90°. The speed of movement can be adjusted by adjusting the setting, giving you more control.

There is a separate 360° pan lock on the side of the base that allows you to rotate 360° or lock the head in place.

On the side of the head is a 3/8" thread with a 1/4" adaptor, with non-slip bayonet slots on each sides. This allows you to attach a magic arm to the side with an accessory that can make the most of your shoot.  While you can fit any brand's magic arm, we would recommend the VEO TSA DLX as these incorporate Vanguard's non-slip bayonet fittings that ensures that the magic arm can't slip in use.

With a 50mm diameter base it is ideal for a wide range of tripods with a 3/8" thread (but can be used with any tripod with a 1/4" thread using the adaptor provided).

So if you're looking for an incredibly solid and smooth Arca compatible video head that won't let you down, check out the VEO PV-14 and #makeupyourownmind

Please note that the spring pin is designed to be used with the QS-71P and may not operate with other quick release plates.
