Vanguard Alta Pro 2+ 263AB100

The aluminum ones are good too, and if you can afford it, it's a great way to go,. but I just love the carbon fiber. So Vanguard is our sponsor

But I like this tripod. I like the value that you get for two hundred and fifty bucks with a really cool head, you're good to go.

I was really excited about this tripod as it is my first higher end tripod as I am getting more serious with my photography. The build quality seems really great and I love the versatility of the center column. However, one of the biggest draw backs that may end up making me hate the tripod is the “...

This was my second Vanguard camera tripod. My first, the very tough Auctus Plus 283AT was my everyday tripod (most architecture) for almost ten years. I still use it but I wanted to have a lighter tripod last year and settled on this one. It seemed a good buy and worked acceptably... until yesterday...

Light weight, tall, easy to use, looks amazing, works great. And I am very picky, but I loved this! Wish I could be a Vanguard Tripod Representative! :) haha Edit: after using this tripod for only 3 months one of the legs have already tightened up and is nearly unable to properly work. The legs twis...

Owned only 7 months (actually started happening a couple months ago) and the rubber grips have have separated from the legs and don't stay in place. I expected a higher level of quality. Otherwise has been mostly solid. Like the bag it comes with and the ability to get the neck of the tripod horizon...

I loved this tripod when I first got it, but found that over time it didn't hold up to moderate to heavy use. The adjustment screws are falling out consistently. I can put them back in but it's a pain. What the point of having an adjustable tripod if you can't adjust it all the time?

I've been using a Sunpak 6601ut tripod for the last 10 years, pretty sure I picked it up at Walmart for < $40. I decided that investing in a new tripod would make sense and after a lot of research, the 263CT was my choice. I figured that if I'm going to own another tripod for 10 years, I should buy ...

I use an old metal Manfrotto tripod that is a couple inches taller and heavier duty for real estate photos. I needed something that had a shorter collapsed size but still had a stable footing. The cool places I can get this tripod to go really is great but if I extend it taller using the center colu...

Was pleased with this tripod as soon as I opened the box. Body is solid. Knobs are secure and over sized rubber for big finger folks like me. Took one star off cause I “think” I would like the legs to lock in both directions but I can see the advantages of folding up fast and micro ajustments. Ball ...
