Time-Lapse Tips and Tools

This VEO 3 GO 204AB Aluminum Tripod/Monopod with T-45 Ball Head from Vanguard is a support system that features a tripod with a detachable leg and removable center column that can be combined to form a monopod with a 52.8″ height. Cameras, lenses, or sport optics that are compatible with a 1/4″-20 mount can be connected to the included quick release plate, which is secured to the tripod/monopod’s ball head using an Arca-type quick release clamp. The T-45 Ball Head is removable, provides up to a 91° tilt for portrait orientation and 360° of rotation, and can be locked into place along its range of movement. Also provided is a smartphone connector and a Bluetooth remote, allowing the monopod formed by the detachable leg and removable center column to be used as a smartphone selfie stick.

When configured as a tripod, the VEO 3 GO 204AB Aluminum Tripod/Monopod with T-45 Ball Head supports up to 6.6 lb and measures 13.6″ when folded. Each of its 4-section legs features an independent spread, a 3-position angle lock, and twist locks for rapid deployment. As a tripod, it can be set at a minimum height of 13″ when its removable, push-and-pull, rapid center column is substituted with the included Low-Angle Adapter. Together, the three legs can be extended to obtain a maximum height of 39.8 or 51.6″ when used with the center column fully raised. Each of the aluminum alloy legs includes a rubber foot, and to further enhance stability on a wide variety of surfaces, including soft or uneven soil, a set of spiked feet is also provided.

For added versatility, the center column is reversible, facilitating lower-angle photography where an attached camera is positioned among the tripod’s legs instead of above them.

A carry bag is provided for storage and transport.
