The VESTA GO 264AV12 is a CNC manufactured kit consisting of a very lightweight aluminum travel tripod and an Arca Swiss compatible VEO PV-12 video head. Designed for maximum portability, it offers a stable base up to 6 kg load, ideal for spotting scope observation or shooting video with most DSLR or Mirrorless equipment.

This tripod weighs only 1.68 kg and its 4 sections allow it to fold up to 46.5 cm for maximum portability. VESTA GO tripods are very compact, making them easy to carry in your hand while on the move.

Despite its lightweight and compact design, the VESTA GO 264AV12 tripod extends up to 164 cm, or 133 cm without using the center column. The column can be divided into two sections with a simple unscrew, making it easy to adapt the tripod to macro or low-angle photography without removing the head or mounted equipment.

This tripod is ideal for those who prioritize a very light and compact support, usually working at a standard or macro height, leaving the extension of the column for specific moments. It is important to note that the ease of unscrewing the column may require extra caution when panning with the column extended.

It has 26 mm diameter legs, 4 sections with lever locks, and independent opening adjustment at three angles (20°, 50° and 80°) to regulate the height and position of the tripod. In addition, it includes a spring-loaded hook at the base of the center column to add extra weight and improve stability.

The VESTA GO 264AV12 kit features the Arca Swiss compatible VEO PH-12 video head. This head has a handle that allows one-handed locking and unlocking of vertical movement, which is convenient when tracking moving objects. It is compact and lightweight, ideal for tracking birds in flight or capturing images of moving wildlife, and its fluid design makes it perfect for the digiscoping technique in photography and video.

It includes a smartphone adapter that can be attached to the hot shoe to make the most of smartphone photography. If you want to boost this style, we recommend using a Bluetooth controller, such as the VEO BT-11 (not included) for iOS and Android smartphones. There are holes in the tripod canopy for attaching accessories, such as magic arms.

The VESTA GO 264AV12 is an outstanding choice for photographers and videographers who need a portable and versatile tripod without compromising stability. Its compact design and advanced features make it a reliable tool for capturing images with precision and comfort, especially for those who use the center column only occasionally.
