Vanguard Alta Pro 263AB 100 Aluminum-Alloy Tripod Kit
Finished in smart black, this aluminum ‘2+’ edition of Vanguard’s ALTA PRO 263 tripod builds on the success of the original, with the flip locks for the three-section legs replaced with twist locks that are a little quicker and easier to operate.
Rigidity is very good throughout, including the hexagonal cross-section center column, which can be rotated vertically through +/- 90 degrees in small 15-degree increments.
The legs can be locked at four different angles, adding further to the tripod’s versatility.
An additional 3/8-inch threaded connector enables the attachment of articulated or flexible arms, ideal for adding lighting accessories for either photo or video applications.
Build quality is convincing throughout all components of the legs and is carried through to the BH-100 ball head that’s supplied as part of the kit.
This includes a friction control and dedicated panning lock, along with two bubble levels for precise positioning.
The kit comes complete with a carrying bag and ‘all-terrain’ rubber feet; spiked feet are available as an optional extra.
