For those who remember, we launched The VEO Collection of travel tripods, monopods and camera bags at the 2015 Photography Show in Birmingham.
The feedback from those who visited our stand at the show was phenomenal, but the response of the specialist photographic journalists has just validated everything we believed with great reviews appearing everywhere.
The VEO 265CB Carbon Fibre Travel Tripod won N-Photo's Gold Award with the "stand-out feature" being "the small ball head that outperforms heads on many other travel tripods and has a maximum rating of 8kg". Not surprising to us with it's incredibly solid ball locking mechanism and separate pan lock. The tripod itself is also feature packed with a patented rotating column making it extremely quick to set up or fold away. It packs down to less than 40cm with a 10cm diameter and weighs just 1.5kg making it perfect for travelling anywhere.
The VEO 37 Shoulder Bag is a perfect partner and won the Amateur Photographer Testbench Gold Award with "the feel and demeanour of a high-quality bag and will cope with much use and many miles of travel" and "stealth looks if you're venturing off the beaten track" which refers to both it's design and the unique internal tripod carrying system.
The VEO AM-264TR Monopod With Tri-Foot for added stability has been awarded a double whammy with the Amateur Photographer Testbench Gold Award and the What Digital Camera Gold Award. Amateur Photographer summed up the VEO AM-264TR as "the most featured-packed monopod on the market at a sensible price"
It's not just the press. Our dealers are getting behind this range too. Take this WEX example of a video they created on the VEO 265CB Carbon Fibre Tripod.
Every month we're seeing more and more reviews. Hot off the press is the Digital Photo 5-star review of the VEO 235AB Aluminium Travel Tripod.
We've also just launched what we believe to be the first true travel tripod with a pan-head - the VEO 235AP Aluminium Travel Tripod at the 2015 Birdfair. The innovative pan-head with a smooth motion and a 3.5kg load capacity makes it perfect for photographers and birdwatchers alike. Weighing less and folding down to be less than many spotting scopes, the feedback from birdwatchers at the Birdfair was that the VEO 235AP was a product that would allow them to take their spotting scope on holiday or on longer treks, without worrying about the size and weight of their current tripod. Initial feedback from dealers and press alike has also been overwhelmingly positive so watch this space for yet more reviews!
All-in-all it's great to see the growing momentum that is being created by The VEO Collection which is putting Vanguard firmly back at the heart of the photographic accessories category!
If you're a keen photographer looking for great travel gear - ask your dealer for a demonstration of the Vanguard VEO Collection. You won't be disappointed and with all the awards, you don't just have to take my word for it!
