Vanguard's Alta Pro 263AP Aluminum Tripod With PH-32 Pan Head has a load capacity of 11 lb, extends to a maximum height of 70" and folds down to only 28.5" which makes it easy to attach to a gear bag or backpack. The center column has a tilting system which allows you to move it from 0 to 180 degrees like a boom for precise composition, making macro photography or copy work a breeze. And while we're on the subject of macro photography, the legs have 25, 50 and 80 degree stops for extra low angle shooting.
The included PH-32 3-Way Pan Head comes equipped with a quick release and camera plate for fast set up. Besides 360 degree panning, the PH-32 has a -60 to +90 degree range of backward/forward tilt and -30 to +90 degrees of lateral tilt.
