Nikon Nikkor AF-P 70-300mm vs Vanguard Alta Pro 2+ 263AB100

We don't knock a lens too much for dim corners, as it's something that's not hard to correct. It's a fine compromise to make in order to achieve such a lightweight design.

Sleek Look,, great weight, and a fabulous tripod all the way around. Now The carbon fiber does not come with a head. You choose a head that goes with ...

Manual focus will not work at all. I'm very disappointed with the lack of longevity of this lens. I do not have a disposable income! I would have thought the lens would have lasted a long time since it was a Nikon. Bottom line, if you can afford to replace this lens every 12-14 months, then it's well worth it for the quality and clarity of photos this lens can give you

Took some 30 sec exposures alongside a busy highway with 18 wheel tractor trailers going by at 65 mph and still got tack sharp images. Their passing was enough to blow my hair around, but didn't budge the camera. It's not exactly what I would call lightweight, but I've gladly carried it for several miles into the swamps of Florida to get the shot I was after. Very impressed with this piece of equipment

General initial shots at 70mm and 300mm confirm that it is tack sharp. It zooms very quickly, if not quite as fast as the 300mm prime. It comes with a, not particularly great, lens bag, and the lens hood is substantial. It focuses very close and whilst no where near macro is going to be great for friendly birds

Don’t buy this tripod if you use a large telephoto or zoom lens ie., Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6. I understand the product isn’t “heavy duty”, the ball will nod hold larger lenses

Light weight helps when carrying it around with my D7500 body all day. Highly recommend this lens if you are looking for a great zoom in this focal length range.

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
