Vanguard VEO 2 PRO 233APV
Aluminum Tripod Kit

Vanguard VEO 2 PRO 233APV Photo Video Kit offers a Black 3-section Aluminium Tripod with 23mm diameter legs and a PH-38 3-Way Pan Head that folds to 58cm/22.8, extends to 146cm/57.5 and can cope with a 5kg/11lbs maximum load capacity

With more photographers shooting video as well as stills, they require a new level of versatility from their pan-head. To meet this need, Vanguard’s VEO 2 PRO 233APV introduces the innovative PH-38 3-Way Pan Head (patent pending) for Photo and Video users who need individual and precise control of each of the 3 movement axes, and it is guaranteed to provide the stability, durability and reliability needed when it comes to performing blur-free photography and cinematography.

The Patent Pending new Vanguard VEO 2 PH-38 3-way pan head is made of lightweight aluminum alloy and features two telescopic handles that are ergonomically designed for left and right handed users.

The PH-38 can be used as a traditional 3-way pan-head for precise photography movements, but can be brought together for video to become a 2-way pan head in seconds. Alternatively, the handles can be set up to offer a 3-way pan-head for left handed photographers, or in a range of positions that can make that tricky shot as comfortable as possible

The kit includes the QS-65 quick shoe, which offers ultimate connection freedom in any direction, simply and quickly. If needed, other Vanguard Arca Swiss compatible quick shoes can also be used with this head such as the QS-60 or QS-64.

The 3-Section aluminium tripod features 23mm diameter legs with settings for 20, 45 and 80 degrees, easy-release buttons for quick set-up and a free low angle adaptor included. This lightweight (1.8kg/3.9lbs) tripod collapses to 58cm/22.8 and can be extended up to 146cm/57.5. It can support up to 5kg/11lbs making it perfect for Mirrorless or DSLR cameras.

A sturdy magnesium die-cast canopy, quick-flip leg locks, non-slip, spiked or rubber feet, a removable hook for hanging camera accessories, or a stabilizing weight, 2 Allen wrenches, 3/8 » screw adaptor and carrying bag make this a fantastic Kit.

The Philly Photo Promise

We do not sell any products that we would not use ourselves.  We are photographers first and retailers second. We primarily sell what we know;  photographic equipment! We thoroughly examine and try out every piece of equipment  before adding it to our assortment of quality products. Our aim is to sell you  the item that will solve your problem and not just another box of stuff. You  can buy with confidence that you will spend your hard earned money on quality  items that are backed by our outstanding feedback, excellent customer service,  top notch pre and post sales support and over 30 years of photographic experience.

Authorized Dealer

Philly Photo Supply is a fully authorized agent for  every brand we sell. We buy directly from each authorized vendor and provide  full factory warranties for each and every product we sell. We do not sell « gray  market », counterfeit, or unauthorized copies of any product. You can rest assured  that your new product is an original manufacturer supplied product supplied  in it’s original packaging with original factory warranty. No ifs, ands, or  buts!

Contact Information

We at Philly Photo Supply are accessible through just about  every communication medium available today. We actively harness the technology  of the web to open the lines of communication to our customers around the world.  Our aim is to answer your questions instantly.

Contact Us

We are located in the Eastern Time zone of the US (GMT-5).  Our normal hours of operation are weekdays from 10AM to 5PM ET. Please consider  this carefully before calling or expecting a fast answer to an email.

Email

As required by new eBay regulations, for your safety and security,  we request that you contact us through the eBay message system.
For situations that require a faster response or lengthy conversations that  are not suited well for emails, we are available through the contact information  on our website.

Best Offers

Our aim to is to give every buyer the best value we  can and make a reasonable profit. We are a profit making company and not a charity.  We cannot continue to offer our low prices and great service if we give our  merchandise away. We only decline offers that do not make sense (cents) for  us to accept.

For us best value is not just the lowest price on eBay,  but the best overall value of product price, free goods – if offered, shipping  price, our super fast shipping and Top Seller customer service. When you compare  our offer to other sellers, compare the total package!

Philly Photo uses the Best Offers feature for several specific  reasons:

1. eBay allows us to offer Free Shipping to US buyers but this puts international  buyers at an unfair disadvantage since we must always pay  shipping. We feel this is unfair, therefore we use Best Offer so that international  buyers get the same discount given to US buyers for the free shipping. US  buyers should be aware that we will often decline their offers because the free shipping is the Best Offer available for that item. This  is often the case with items under $100 or items shipped to the west coast.
2. Many suppliers require that we post a fixed Minimum Advertised Price.  For these suppliers we use the Best Offer feature so that you can purchase  the item at a discounted price. In many cases we also offer free goods or  free shipping on these items. US buyers need to calculate the free shipping  as part of the discount, since we are paying the shipping. Depending on  the offer, we will also not include any free items with Best Offers.

We carefully analyze each and every offer to see if it makes  sense for us to make the deal and we really want every sale we can get.

Free Shipping

The truth about « free » shipping, not surprisingly, is that  it is not really free. UPS, FedEx, and the US Postal Service do not deliver  packages for free. When anyone offers free shipping it means you, the buyer,  are not paying for shipping but the seller is. Since there is a cost to this,  it ultimately affects the discounted price of the products we offer and how  we calculate best offers.  With lower priced items (items under $50) there  are times when the cost of shipping exceeds the amount we would allow for a  discount.

OUR BUSINESS IS NOT TO MAKE A PROFIT FROM SHIPPING!

We also shop on eBay and hate high shipping fees. We would  not think of doing this to others. We charge a fair price over the actual shipping  cost to cover our supplies, gas to and from the post office, UPS etc.

We will try to give our customers a choice of cheap or fast  shipping. We have not found any reliable company that is both fast and cheap! Either way the choice is totally yours.

Payment Terms

Philly Photo Supply sells and ships worldwide as long as the  item is paid for in full, using an acceptable method of payment, regardless  of nationality, class, race, creed, color, or sexual orientation. We are only  limited by the import laws or postal regulations of the destination country.  The rules below only apply to payments and are not a restriction on the  ability to bid and buy. If you are a legitimate buyer, we WANT your business!

All items must be paid for in five days unless  prior arrangements have been made.

We accept and prefer PayPal – the online payment system  but we also accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and other forms  of payment that eBay prohibits listing here. Email for details.

Philly photo Supply reserves the right to refuse certain types  of payment if we feel it is in our best interests to do so. A buyer is still  required to complete a transaction with some other mutually acceptable means  of payment should we refuse to accept an invalid payment type.

We cannot emphasize enough that these types of problems can  all be avoided by asking questions before bidding.

PayPal Payments

We will refuse or refund any PayPal payments that are not  protected by the PayPal Seller Protection program.

Credit Card Payments

We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.  Payment by credit card can be made by clicking the Pay Now button located in  your invoice or in the Items Won section of My EBay. You will be directed to  PayPal (we process our credit cards with PayPal) where you can pay directly  with your credit card without opening a PayPal account. Carefully read and follow  the on screen directions. Items paid for by credit card will only be shipped  to the billing address of the credit card and a signature is required upon delivery  on items over $250.00US.

Items returned with missing  packaging or accessories maybe assessed a restocking charge.

Refunds for items offered with free shipping will have the  outbound shipping deducted from the refund.

Items damaged in transit require a claim be  filed with the carrier. Please retain all shipping boxes and shipping materials  until a claim is filed.

Feedback Policy

As a seller on eBay, we understand first hand the importance  of feedback. We have been selling on eBay for over 10 years and we have always left feedback for our buyers, always, regardless  of whether or not feedback has been left by the buyer. Our primary concerns  are shipping your order accurately and fast, maintaining sufficient inventory  to meet the needs of our customers, and insuring that our listings are both  accurate and priced competitively. Beyond that, we get to feedback when we have  the spare time to do it. Please be assured we will leave feedback.  Do not send emails requesting feedback, as this generate the same response as  above and will only clog up our in-box even more.

We will gladly exchange  any initially defective products within 7 days of receipt. After 7 days, all  claims under the factory warranty are with the original manufacturers or their  agents in the US. Items must be returned post paid.

Per new eBay seller rules, shipping insurance is the responsibility  of the Seller and the actual insurance amount has been included in the  Handling Fee. Our Handling Fee includes some or all the following costs: insurance  coverage, cost of packing materials, postage service fees, pick up fees, and  preparation of documentation.

Important Information for International Buyers

Warranty Information

Manufacturer’s Warranty: Item is warranted against defect  in materials and workmanship by a US warranty for 2 year from date of purchase.  Item may be covered in non US locations by the local distributor but the buyer  should contact the local distributor prior to purchase to confirm details on  local warranty coverage , if any. Defective items may require transport back  to the US for warranty service at the expense of the buyer for transport both  to and from the service facility.  No other warranties are offered or implied.
Philly Photo Supply can act as the buyers agent in the US provided the buyer  pays shipping to Philly Photo Supply, the vendor, and return shipping to the  buyer.

Items must be returned to the manufacturer or their agents  for warranty service. It is the buyers responsibility to pay the cost of shipping  for items returned for warranty service.

International Shipping

We participate in the eBay Global Shipping Program

Many items shipped overseas by Philly Photo Supply are packed  in irregular sized containers due to their shape and size. These items are not  oversized by U S Postal Service standards, but are considered oversized  by some foreign postal carriers and can incur additional handling charges upon  final delivery. These charges are added by the courier and not Philly Photo.  The size of these items sometimes prevents us from combining items into one  order.

Per new eBay seller rules, shipping insurance is the responsibility  of the Seller and the actual insurance amount has been included in the  Handling Fee. Our Handling Fee includes some or all the following costs: insurance  coverage, cost of packing materials, postage service fees, pick up fees, and  preparation of documentation.

Customs and Import Taxes

Importation of items from another country can cause significant  delays in the arrival of your item. We will can give the approximate shipping  times for the arrival of your item but these do not allow for delays by customs  officials in both the US and at the final destination. Please consider this  in your expectations for travel time and in leaving appropriate feedback. We  will remove any feedback that refers to slow shipping caused by customs delays.

Most foreign countries impose a duty, customs charge or value  added tax on items shipped from the US. This charge is added by the shipping  company, not us, and collected at delivery. This money is collected by  your government and none of it comes to us. Please check with YOUR postal or  customs authorities to determine the amount and reporting requirements. We have  a difficult time understanding our own tax system and we have absolutely no  desire to figure out the customs of the 50 or so other countries we ship to.

We will not under-value or declare items as a gift on customs  forms to enable the avoidance of customs fees. This is against US and international  Postal Regulations.

We accept no responsibility, financially or legally, for any  customs duty or VAT charged to items upon final delivery. These charges are  the buyer’s responsibility. Please check with your country’s customs office  to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.  We will remove any feedback that refers to unfair customs charges.
