Vanguard's Alta Pro 263 AT Aluminum Tripod is lightweight (4.4 lb) and an extremely versatile camera support. It features a unique Multi-Angle Central Column System (MACC) which allows you to position the center column at angles from 0 - 360° in variable vertical and horizontal positions. This gives you amazing flexibility in how your camera is positioned. Central column positioning is aided by the Vanguard Instant Swivel Stop-n-Lock (ISSL) System which allows secure and quick positioning of the central column in one simple movement, while keeping the tripod balanced and stable.

question
Can sliders be used at an angle or vertically on this tripod?
I'm sure it will attach fine, but I wouldn't extend the tube past the footprint of the tripod legs.Even a hefty camera will cause tipping if you do that. Check the tripod's weight capacity and sum up your camera and slider's weight combined. Also check if the extended ends of a slider aren't past the footprint of the legs.It's a great sturdy tripod .

question
where do you find the quick release plate that screws onto your camera.. i have seemed to have lost mine?
The QR plate does not come with the tripod but has to be purchased separately. I bought the Manfrotto 496RC2 Compact Ball Head with 200PL-14 QR Plate with this tripod and it works very well for my purposes.

question
I own this tripod and am looking for a replacement attachment plate. However, this doesn't seem to be offered as an accessory, nor are the dimensions of the plate included in your product information.
The quick release plate you will need depends on the tripod head you are using. If you are using the SBH-30 ball head, you will need the QS-39 quick release plate: http://bhpho.to/1msFk20

question
I'm considering purchasing the Vanguard Alta Pro 263AT Tripod and want to also purchase a head for it. Main use is for macro photography using a Canon 7D with a few different lenses - what would you recommend?
I've selected two ballhead recommendations for you to consider. The first option below features and Arca-Swiss style quick release plate which is a very popular type of plate used by many manufacturers on various grips/shoes etc. The second is a popular head from Manfrotto. See the two links below for details:http://bhpho.to/JA9Yxkhttp://bhpho.to/jdZUsI
