This highly portable full height Vanguard field tripod features a smooth pan & tilt head with over-sized altitude clutch control knob, a quick release plate - flick a lever and the telescope or camera can be removed instantly. The head platform flips through 90 degrees to position telescope or camera as conveniently as possible.

The spotting scope shown in the pictures is for illustration only and is not included in the price.

This tripod fits all digital cameras, SLR's and compacts.

The tripod is made from lightweight ABS and aluminium and is our lightest full height tripod weighing in at only 1480g! The tripod features a centre stay or leg-brace system that locks into position with a twist-knob.

The centre column height is controlled by a conveniently placed folding crank handle (pictured). The tripod will easily hold spotting scopes, binoculars (with additional bracket) and cameras up to 3.5 kilos in weight.

Ideal tripod for medium to large sized spotting scopes, larger binoculars with a support bracket or digital SLR.

What's so great about the Vanguard MK-4 tripod?

In a word - weight, or rather, the lack of it! The tripod is of an ultra-lightweight design but is still strong and rigid even at full height. The three-legged monopod? A great in-the-field use of the tripod is to close the legs together (with a rubber band or velcro strap etc) and use it as a monopod! The tripod is more than light enough to be used this way and carried around with the spotting scope,binocular or camera attached, with the great added benefit over a normal monopod, that at a moments notice it can be turned into a tripod again! The tripod features a useful built-in bubble level.
