What's so great about the Alta+203AP tripod?

Quality is the Alta's main feature. The tripod has a quality all metal design, with smooth operating moving parts and tough but lightweight construction. Like all Vanguard tripods, the Alta 1 is well engineered and maintains a high standard of stability even at full height. The three-legged section and rising centre column design brings its full height up to 1.42m from a fully collapsed height of only 50cm. The all metal quick-release plate gives the mounted equipment a solid base that feels much firmer compared to ABS and plastic QR plates. A centre column hook (see picture) allows ballast to be added to the tripod to increase stability and minimise vibration.
