Review Summary

Rated 4 out of 5

Sturdy & versatile but heavy

Very versatile but is very heavy for a Carbon Fiber Type tripod. Seems to be extremely stable even with my big telephoto lenses mounted on the relatively heavy 7D cameras. I have also owned tripods that had much smoother leg adjustment.

About Vanguard ABEO PRO 283CGH

The Vanguard ABEO Pro 283CGH carbon tripod combines most celebrated innovations to help take your photography to the next level. The ABEO Pro 283CGH includes the GH-300T industry-leading grip head with built-in remote shutter release control. It lets you trip your camera's shutter without removing your hand from the grip - perfect for capturing fast-moving objects. Dual panning axes, including a 72-click-point panning base, ensure precise panoramic photography and smooth movements for following the action, even when shooting HDSLR video. The Vanguard ABEO Pro Multi-Angle Central Column system allows users to move the central column from 0 to 180-degree angles in variable vertical and horizontal positions, making macrophotography and unique angle shots a breeze; its Instant Swivel Stop-n-Lock (ISSL) System securely repositions the central column in one simple movement, in just a few seconds, while maintaining the tripod's stability.

When the central column is set in an angled position, a Quick Adjustment lever lock makes pivoting the central column simple; flip the lock open, rotate the column to the desired position and flip the lock closed. The Vanguard ABEO Pro legs feature quick-flip locks and individually adjust to 25, 50 and 80 degree angles with use of ergonomic release buttons for easy setup on uneven terrain or spreading out flat for super low angle photography.
