Building on the launches of the VEO 3 Series of tripods, Vanguard has introduced the first products in the new VEO Tripod Support EcoSystem which includes support arms, tablet connectors and cold shot mounts.

Vanguard has introduced a new line-up of accessories that can be used to extend the role of a tripod, turning it into a lighting stand, microphone boom and monitor stand with their new VEO Tripod Support EcoSystem.
The VEO Tripod Support EcoSystem features tripod support arms, cold shoe mounts and a tablet connector meaning photographers no longer need to lug around multiple tripods.
As more tripods introduce the side mount thread onto the tripod canopy, or even on selected quick release plates such as the QS-72T that comes with the VEO 3T Travel Tripod, there is the option to add accessories to a tripod. To support this, Vanguard has introduced the VEO TSA Tripod Support Arms.
VEO TSA DLX models incorporate a choice of 1/4” or 3/8” threads, a flat or bayonet plate, ball joints at each end and a serrated steel joint while the VEO TSA models are simpler, lighter solutions with a 1/4” thread with a 1/4” to 3/8” adaptor.
To add accessories to your camera flash hot shoe, Vanguard introduces a range of VEO Cold Shoe Mounts. All the models also include a hole for a 1/4” thread on the base and so can be used with the VEO TSA Tripod Support Arms.
At a basic level, the VEO CSM Cold Shoe Mount is an aluminium cold shoe mount that simply attaches your accessory while the VEO CSM DLX Cold Shoe Mount allows you to adjust the vertical angle +90° to -90°. It also includes a magnetic quick release system that allows you to fit your accessory in seconds, or attach it to any suitable metallic surface.
For those with multiple accessories, Vanguard has introduced the VEO CSMM2 and VEO CSMM3 Cold Shoe Multi-Mounts. The VEO CSMM2 Cold Shoe Multi-Mount allows up to two cold shoe-mounted accessories to be fitted, on a bar that allows them to be up to 208mm apart while the VEO CSMM3 Cold Shoe Mult-Mount allows up to three cold shoe-mounted accessories to be fitted, and the two outer mounts allow you to adjust the horizontal angle +90° to -90°. While it does not have a cold shoe mount base, it has a 1/4” thread and so can be attached to either.
For those who want to enlarge their shots before dismantling their setup, Vanguard introduces the heavy-duty VEO TC M that will allow them to add any tablet up to 220mm wide (connections to the camera not provided).
The VEO TC M Tablet Connector can attach to a 1/4” thread from a support arm (or any tripod head using the quick release plate), or directly to any Arca compatible tripod head. To add additional accessories there is a cold shoe mount on the top, and slots for two 1/4” tripod support arms.
