Comments about Vanguard Vanguard Alta 264AB Aluminum Alloy Tripod with SBH-50 Panhead, Maximum Height 59", Supports 11 lbs.:
This is a nice lightweight tripod that's pretty stable. Initially one of the legs stuck but that's worked out with use. The head will hold 6 pounds but tends to droop a touch after tightening, which requires readjustment. With lighter lenses that's not a problem. With the Bigma on my camera, it is.
It's listed with a pan head. Look at the photo. It has a ball head. If you want the pan head model get the one that ends in SPH not this one.
