Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. can the ballhead be removed?

A: Yes the ball head can be removed.

Q: 2. Can it handle a 600mm F4 lens?

A: Yes, while the Vanguard VEO 2 can support camera setups up to 17 lb, I would recommend getting a stronger ball head for a better experience.

Q: 3. For the sake of weight and a more solid base would it be advisable to consider removing the long center column and using just the short replacement column? AND what is the height of the tripod fully extended at that height (without the tall center column)?

A: The Vanguard VEO 2 235CB Carbon Fiber Tripod with Ball Head without the center column extended is 49 inches high. If one does not extend the original center column, it would be just as stable as using just a short center column.

Q: 4. Can the legs be locked at other angle besides the stated 23, 50 or 80 degree? Some tripod allows the legs to be locked at any angle between 0 and 90.

A: No. This has set angles.

Q: 5. Is the ball head removable

A: According to Vanguard, yes, the ball head on the Vanguard VEO 2 235CB Carbon Fiber Tripod is removable. You would simply loosen the two (2) hex set screws under the head, lock down the head's adjustment dials so it does not move, and pop the head counterclockwise. The thread size on the male screw on the top of the center column is the standard ¼”-20 thread size. If you are using a tripod head that has the larger 3/8"-16 tripod thread size, you will need a reducer bushing to connect the tripod head to your tripod, such as the Oben 3/8"-16 to 1/4"-20 Reducer Bushing, B&H # OB1039.
