What’s Inside the VEO CP-65 Kit

The VEO CP-65 Tripod Accessory Kit bundles three core items: the VEO CP-65 Clamp, the VEO TSA DLX L Tripod Support Arm, and the VEO SPH Smartphone Holder. Rather than buying these separately, the kit offers a ready-to-use set for photographers and smartphonographers who need flexible mounting options on location.

Kit Components at a Glance

  • VEO CP-65 Tripod Accessory Kit - Large: The VEO CP-65 Clamp lets you attach your camera, smartphone, or accessory to almost any object up to 46mm wide. This clamp is the foundation of the kit—it allows you to mount gear on railings, branches, or table edges, expanding your shooting positions beyond a tripod.

  • VEO CP-65 Tripod Accessory Kit - Large: The VEO TSA DLX L Tripod Support Arm includes a ball joint that rotates 360° and swivels +/- 40° for level shots on uneven terrain. The arm’s articulation lets you position your camera or smartphone precisely, even on uneven ground, making it useful for outdoor and macro work.

  • VEO CP-65 Tripod Accessory Kit - Large: The VEO SPH Smartphone Holder is Arca compatible and includes 1/4" and 3/8" threads for direct tripod mounting. Arca compatibility means the holder works with most Arca-style tripod heads, and the dual threads give you direct attachment options without the clamp.

How the Components Work Together

The clamp has three threaded holes (two 1/4" and one 3/8") on its body, allowing you to attach up to three support arms for different accessories—like a camera, light, or microphone—each positioned independently. The support arm itself has 1/4" and 3/8" threads on both ends, so you can connect it directly to the clamp or to a tripod that has a matching thread.

If your tripod already has a 1/4" or 3/8" thread, you can mount the support arm directly without the clamp, simplifying your setup. The smartphone holder can also be used on its own on any Arca-compatible head, giving you flexibility in how you configure the kit.

Compatibility Considerations

The clamp works with objects up to 46mm wide—common on tables, shelves, and many outdoor structures. The support arm is recommended for use with Vanguard tripods that have non-slip bayonet fittings, but it can be used with other tripods as well because of the standard thread options.

The smartphone holder fits smartphones and has a cold shoe mount on top for attaching additional accessories like a small light or microphone. The supplied information does not specify the maximum phone width, so check your phone’s dimensions if you plan to use a large or thick case.

What the Kit Doesn’t Include

The CP-65 kit does not include a remote trigger. Vanguard recommends the VEO BT-11 Bluetooth remote for iOS and Android to avoid camera shake when firing the shutter. It also doesn’t include a tripod itself—you’ll need your own tripod or mount surface to attach the clamp or arm.

If you only need one component—say, just a smartphone holder or just a clamp—the kit may include more than you require. In that case, buying individual items might be more economical.

Who This Kit Is For

The VEO CP-65 Kit suits photographers and videographers who want a versatile, portable mounting system for both cameras and smartphones. It’s especially handy for travel, outdoor shoots, and situations where you need to attach gear to non-standard surfaces. The three-in-one design reduces the need to carry multiple separate accessories.

If you work primarily with a smartphone and need a simple tripod mount, a basic smartphone holder might suffice. But if you value the ability to clamp onto objects and adjust arm angles for creative compositions, this kit offers a practical all-in-one solution.
