Vanguard has been building a suitably ‘solid’ reputation for making quality tripods for about 40 years. For most of us in the ‘digital camera world’, myself included, when we think of a tripod, we think about a set of legs and a head that holds a camera firmly in place for shooting stills.
A video tripod is a different kind of beast. Apart from when it’s locked off for static use, it’s all about freedom of movement, so you can pan and tilt with an intuitive, fluid feel and follow the action. I’ve recently been very impressed with the super-solid, feature-rich and innovative Vanguard VEO 3+ 303CBS for stills photography. It’s certainly one of the best tripods for photographers on the market today.
