The Vanguard VEO 2 S 265ABQS Aluminum Tripod with BH-50 Ball Head has 5-section legs that open with a turn of the twist locks. With the center column extended, it can reach a maximum height of 59". Collapsing the center column produces a height of 48.5". With three variable leg angles and independent leg spread, the legs can completely splay out to a minimum height of 7.3". The tripod folds to a length of 16.1". One of the tripod's legs is removable, so it can convert into a full working monopod. The 3.5 lb tripod has rubber feet to adapt to uneven terrain and a set of replaceable short spikes to use for softer ground. The BH-50 ball head has a lateral tilt range of -90° to +40° and a vertical tilt of 90°, and it can rotate a full 360°. The Arca-type ball head can sustain a load capacity of 13.2 lb, and it includes two QS-64 quick release plates with a 1/4"-20 threaded camera mount.
