Vanguard Alta Pro 263Ab 100 Aluminum Tripod With Sbh-100 Ball Head For Sony, Nikon, Canon Dslr Cameras, Black

Love this tripod. It's heavy, aluminium frame, soft grips and lots of features

Es un excelente trípode para un equipo como el mío que generalmente no cargo en una mochila sino en la cajuela del coche, plegado es muy grande y pesado, aunque incluye una funda de transporte muy buena. Es muy estable y funciona a la perfección con equipos más pequeños, la construcción es de calidad y creo que vale cada peso.

Bought this to replace my wife's amazon basics tripod. Huge upgrade and well worth the money. In fact for around $150 it is a great value. The ability to reposition the center post at any angle has been incredibly useful for macro photography, as well as wildlife photography where one might find themselves having to sit in odd spaces for a long period of time to get a shot. Very solid build, the head tightens down very solid, no unwanted movement. The plate-lock for the camera is very secure too. I wasn't sure about it but the dual lock system keeps everything very secure. After about three months of moderate use for outdoor, wildlife photography, photography, and indoor macro photography, this thing is showing no signs of quitting any time soon. I highly recommend it. In response to many reviews that comment that one or more leg locks didn't work on their tripods: I had one leg that wouldn't lock, when extending it, the leg would open all the way to the 80 degree position, unlike the other two that would stop at 25 and then 50 degrees. It seems this problem is the result of a stuck release button or locking bolt (when open all the way you will see a rectangular "bolt" that retracts slightly when the release button is pressed). This problem was easily remedied by first giving a quick blast of air from a compressed air can (like what you use to clean the dust out of your computer) to remove any possible debris from the release and then carefully applying a few drops of household 3 in 1 oil to the bolt and under the button. Careful to use just a small amount and not get it on top of the button or where you might handle the tripod (I found holding the tripod upside down while depressing the release button of the leg in question provided ample room to apply oil under the button). Work the release button for a minute to get the oil into all the moving parts. All 3 legs now function properly on my tripod. If you do this, give it a couple days before using in dusty conditions so that excess oil can "dry" a little.

This tripod is fantastic. It's durable and fairly compact. When looking for a new tripod, I knew I wanted something with a ball joint head. I kind of had my mind set on a Manfroto, but I just couldn't justify the price. This Vanguard was cheaper than just the tripod portion of the Manfroto, and I would have had to buy the head separately. The ball head on this is stiff enough to stay in place, but easy enough to move around. The legs are sturdy. I have rarely had to set down more than one section of the legs. It will get quite tall if you put down both sets. The centre post also has a spot to attach a sandbag if you need to add stability. For the price, it has a lot of good features. Very happy with this purchase.

Completamente estable para fotografías en secuencia. La calidad de armado es increíble, eso sí, no es nada ligero, pero vale la pena debido a su gran utilidad. La Ball Head es sumamente sencilla de usar y ajustar. Altura excelente también, así como los ángulos que puede lograr que con otros trípodes es imposible. Muy satisfecho con mi compra.
