Digital camera reviews of Vanguard Alta+ 204AP 4-Section Aluminum Tripod with 3-way Magnesium Alloy Panhead

Digital camera Review: Cool Features, Low Quality
Summary: 3 Stars

I looked at the description of this tripod and also read the reviews. Everybody seemed to love this tripod. It has a lot of cool features, however it is very low on quality. First, it extremely light. I wouldn't trust this with anything but a point and shoot or a very very small SLR. Second, the central column would not fully extend. There were about 3 or 4 inches left and nothing visible keeping it from extending. Third, this particular tripod is very shot. I am 5'9" and I had to hunch over to use it. This is probably a great tripod for a parent or person who travels who needs something simple and light to hold the camera for group shots. It is small, light and condenses easily. However, this is not suitable at all for a professional photographer who needs a wide range of uses and stability for expensive equipment.

Summary of Vanguard Alta+ 204AP 4-Section Aluminum Tripod with 3-way Magnesium Alloy Panhead

The Vanguard Alta+ 204AP Aluminum Alloy Tripod is designed to meet the requirements of the most demanding photographer, This aluminum tripod offers a magnesium alloy canopy and head. The legs can all be adjusted individually to 3 different angles (25° 50° 80°) for uneven terrain and low angle shooting. The dual locking safety mechanism and anti-shock ring prevent the damage that can be caused by camera vibration and will eliminate any worries you might have about your equipment falling from the tripod during transportation. Ergonomic handles, easy to lock panhead, large foam grips for all weather use and spiked rubber feet for increased stability are all features offered by this series.
