Comments about Vanguard Vanguard Alta Pro 263AT 26mm 3-Section Aluminum Alloy Tripod Legs, Maximum Height 65", Supports 15.4 lbs.:
Bought this based on the reviews and budgetary concerns. I think this was great value for the money. The "adjustable" center post is great for macro and/or weird angles that may be needed for an off-camera flash.
It is "heavyish" but I don't take five mile hikes with my tripod.
I combined this with a Vanguard SBH 50 ballhead and it holds my Nikon D300 with any lens set up.
I am very pleased with this purchase and would not hesitate to recommend it.

Comments about Vanguard Vanguard Alta Pro 263AT 26mm 3-Section Aluminum Alloy Tripod Legs, Maximum Height 65", Supports 15.4 lbs.:
Used this for the first time on a blustery 21 degree f night; photographing the Boston harbor skyline.
Had it set up then broken down in seconds. Three padded legs came in very "handy" when I had to take gloves off. I actually used both the rubber feet and one spike at the same time due to ground conditions.
Very impressed with the stability for HDR bracketing.

Comments about Vanguard Vanguard Alta Pro 263AT 26mm 3-Section Aluminum Alloy Tripod Legs, Maximum Height 65", Supports 15.4 lbs.:
I purchased this with the PH-22 pan head for stability in panoramic and tilt-shift shots. Wow! Construction, fit, and finish are immaculate. It is smooth and quick to adjust. Comes with a nice zippered case and a stone bag. Rock solid.

Comments about Vanguard Vanguard Alta Pro 263AT 26mm 3-Section Aluminum Alloy Tripod Legs, Maximum Height 65", Supports 15.4 lbs.:
I just received this. I purchased the SBH200 $59.00 also by Vanguard and they are both very well built. I mounted a D50 w/28-200 lens on it and it is stable in all positions.. and there are very few positions it cannot do. The horizontal feature is outstanding, you can pivot it to all angles as well as slide the bar and stop it at any point..there are no prestops. I holds very solid even with the weight of my set up. I highly reccomend both. Excellent value on the ball head as well. Comparable to the Gitzo in the $150 range.
