The Vanguard Alta Pro 283CT 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod offers generous height, impressive stability, and light weight alongside a comprehensive list of professional functions – primary among which is the 180° tilting of the center column, which makes a convenient task of macro photography.
The center column also swivels; that action combined with tilting and adjusting its height will allow for camera positioning at virtually any point within a spherical range. With an Allen key you can adjust the tension of this swiveling motion.
Not only macro photography but also any type of outdoor photography will be well-served by the Alta Pro 283CT, which reaches a maximum height of 66.9" and supports up to 17.6 lb. The tripod features spikes that emerge from its rubber feet. At only 3.75 lb, the 283CT is supremely portable.
The tripod has a standard 1/4"-20 stud; with the included 3/8"-16 adapter, the 283CT is compatible with almost any head. The tripod collar features set screws, so with an Allen wrench you can establish an extremely strong connection with a head.
