This Vanguard 1880 Tracker 4 tripod is designed for heavy duty field use of larger spotting scopes, binoculars and cameras. It features all aluminium construction with solid 32mm diameter legs, and an ultra-smooth pan, tip & tilt 3-way head.

The 1880's large aluminium legs and precision aluminium alloy head and leg locks make it a joy to use. But it's the smooth, robust 3-way head that make this tripod such an ideal tool for spotting scope and binocular mounting.

The 1880 Tracker 4 is a portable all metal precision made field tripod and features a smooth 3-way head with an all metal quick-release dovetail instrument mounting platform. The head is equipped with a chunky altitude tilt and tip control knobs (the tripod is very versatile and can be locked in altitude independently of the azimuth (left/right) lock.

The tripod features a large quick release platform that locks in to position using an all metal dovetail system. Flick the safety lever down and the telescope or camera can be removed instantly and swapped for another instrument.

This tripod fits all digital cameras and is ideal for SLR's. The tripod has the rigidity you would expect from its all metal construction. It has heavy duty feet with hard anti-vibration rubber shoes.

The Vanguard 1880 Tracker 4 is made entirely from cast and machined aluminium alloy with parts and at a maximum height of 1.88m (just over 74") it's one of the highest and most rigid tripods in our range and yet weighs in at under 4kg! The tripod features four position angle locks on each leg allowing the tripod down to ground level if required or to use a wall or other vertical structure as a brace as needed

The rigid polygonal centre column height is controlled by a conveniently placed lock.

The tripod will easily hold spotting scopes, binoculars (with additional bracket) and cameras up to 10 kilos!

A great feature (there are plenty!) of this precision made tripod is the robust and user adjustable leg locks. A few years in to the life of a tripod there is nothing more annoying than a leg lock that starts to slip through normal wear and usage. With most tripods you either live with it as long as you can and then throw it away. The Vanguard Tracker has fully user adjustable leg-locks and can be adjusted to the optimum tension regardless of wear - and a special spanner for this purpose is included.

This is a great tripod for large spotting scopes, cameras or the largest binoculars with a support bracket. Supplied with heavy duty shoulder strap with padded shoulder relief sleeve.
