I purchased this today after testing it upstairs at BH. I spent a good two hours comparing different tripods that were lightweight (not just looking but opening them, placing weight on them, seeing how rugged they were, putting my Canon DSLR on them, as well as my Canon HF S10 video camera), highly functional, and HIGH quality (near pro level). Well, I chose this tripod because of the following reasons:
First, it has a FLUID HEAD. The box itself fails to mention that. The head moves so fluidly and although it says photo tripod on the box, I use it for video with my Canon HD camera. WOW, this is an amazing tripod. Second, it has two axes (handlebars?) of controls, one for each hand. This allows for more precise movement. Third, it has a built in level. How useful! Fourth, it is lightweight, and comes with a FREE tripod bag inside the box! Fifth, it is quite small so you can stow it away. Sixth, it is the BEST price to value ratio you will ever find on a tripod. Ever? YES! I spent two hours looking at every single tripod in this weight/price category at BH! BH has the best selection in NYC and if you can't find a competitor to beat a product here, well then, you've got yourself the best product!
I make YouTube videos and when motion is required, you can see that there is no jerk from point A to point B. It's a totally smooth/fluid motion.
BOTTOM LINE: THIS TRIPOD IS PRO QUALITY. FLUID HEAD and LEVEL with THREE AXES OF MOTION (up, down, diagonal)!

Comments about Vanguard Alta+ 204AP Aluminum Alloy Tripod:
It's hard to imagine a better tripod with a price/ weight/ size combination.
It's so light and small, I was disappointed when I unboxed and extended it fully. I was like, "there's no way this thing isn't going to be a wobbler."
Boy was I wrong, it's smoother and WAY more solid than I expected.
Pushing the to the weight limit with a spotting scope did wobble a little bit though. Not sure if the load capacity is under / or over rated.
Not the tripod's fault, but I was crossing my fingers it could.
But in optimal conditions, it worked perfectly anyway with a bunch of stuff on it.
Was a little bummed the picture showed the thing with bubble levels on all axis. There is actually just one.
GREAT for adventurers who want the lowest possible weight and size (without having to take out a loan) in a truly functional and versatile tripod.

Comments about Vanguard Alta+ 204AP Aluminum Alloy Tripod:
This is my first pro-level tripod (or at least my first expensive one I didn't buy at [@]). I do photography, but mostly DSLR video. I love this tripod. It's easy to use and the head is nice and fluid. My only complaints: I wish it could get taller. You have to take off one of the arms on the head to fit it in the bag.

Comments about Vanguard Alta+ 204AP Aluminum Alloy Tripod:
Purchased the tripod to use with a 5D for backpacking. The tripod packs down pretty small and is stable enough for use with the 5D. I have not used it yet with any lens bigger than the 24-70 2.8L but it works fine with that. I was always careful in the wind but it does has a weight hook on the center pole and the legs can be spread to prevent tipping.
I also liked this tripod because it has a very smooth pan and tilt head which is nice when I want to use my 5D mark II for video.
Notes: one arm must be unscrewed to fit inside the bag (easy enough)

Comments about Vanguard Alta+ 204AP Aluminum Alloy Tripod:
I needed a tripod for my Canon 40D. I have lots of heavy duty video tripods so that is what I am used to, but needed something that would travel well. This fits in my Canon carry on travel case perfect with room to pack other little stuff around it. It seemed too light and flimsy and a little awkward when I first got it, but it is perfect for travel and sturdy enough for a quick studio session.
