Easy height adjustment
The adjustable legs design means you can quickly and easily set it up to the desired height, making preparations a breeze.
Convenience of low-angle shooting
Since there is no center pole, low-angle shooting is easy. You can shoot from a low position as you wish, allowing you to shoot at a variety of angles.
High-precision video head
The included tripod head, the “VEO PV-10,” is a spring-type tripod head that has an internal spring that allows for smooth camera movement, while the “VEO PV-12” is a hydraulic tripod head that uses special oil inside to smooth out camera movement.
