One of Vanguard's classic full-size tripods is back with an updated design. The Alta Pro 2+263AB Gen 2 camera tripod features a few new upgrades to go with its stable and reliable traditional features. This new Alta Pro 2+ tripod includes an updated BH-60 ball head. This Arca-compatible head comes equipped with our QS-45H quick-release plate, offering ultimate control and quick changeability. Simply position the head and securely lock it for quick, stable, and precise shots. Plus, the head is CNC-machined to support more weight and ensure consistent quality and precision. Despite the updates, this Alta Pro 2+ aluminum tripod still includes one of the features that made it a classic: a multi-angle center column (MACC). This unique quick-action center column features fast, simple, and intuitive twist-and-lock positioning at practically any angle – from tall portrait and landscape shots to difficult macro and low-angle captures. Plus, a -90° to +90° range of rotation gives you a ton of ways to showcase your creativity, from wide, panned landscapes to extreme macro closeups. The streamlined center column design also makes it easy to adjust your height or extension without fumbling. Visualize your shot, and then make it happen quickly. Achieve perfect positioning and tripod balance to match any terrain by using the four strong and steady leg-angle options of 20°, 40°, 60° or 80°. When you have the angle and height you need, the ultra-fast leg-locking system ensures quick deployment with a precise 35° twist. This means no guessing if you're twisting the lock the right way. The 2nd-gen Alta Pro 2+ 263AB also features a tripod canopy with a 3/8" threaded connector, so you can mount additional accessories, such as lighting equipment and articulated arms. The creative possibilities are seemingly endless. This high-performance tripod helps you stay steady thanks to a strong aluminum build, a bubble level, and a dedicated suspension loop to hang a counterweight or bag. Nonslip, all-weather TPU grips on 2 legs help you get a solid grip in any weather, and angled rubber feet ensure a solid hold on any terrain As a bonus, each tripod comes with a tripod bag w/ carrying strap.
