Vanguard's Alta + 254CP Carbon Fiber Tripod is made of 6X carbon fiber to provide a lightweight but very sturdy and versatile camera support. The tripod will support your camera or camcorder weighing up to 8.8 lb (4 kg). It extends to 61.75" (157cm), and folds down to only 21.5" (54.5cm) which makes it easy to attach to a gear bag or backpack.
The Alta + 254CP comes with a three-way pan head with two anti-slip coated handles which allow smooth tilting and full 360-degree panning. The center column is spring loaded to provide your equipment with protection against shocks. It can easily be reversed to achieve low shooting angles and is ideal for macro and other situations where you have to get the camera in close. The column comes with a retractable weight hook from which you can attach a stone bag (optional) or gear bag for added stability.
The four section legs can be independently positioned at 25, 50 and 80 degrees, adding to this tripod's versatile positioning capabilities. The legs are quickly secured into their position with one-twist leg locks and rubber feet with retractable spike help secure the legs on any terrain.
The Alta + 254CP is a popular choice for those who need a tripod that is flexible and easy to set up. It will meet the needs for panoramic, travel, landscape, nature, wide angle, and macro photography plus a wide range of other applications.
