Vanguard Alta Pro 3VLT 5-Section Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod with VEO PV-10 Video Head

A pinnacle of precision engineering, the Alta Pro 3VLT 235CV 10 is a CNC machined carbon fiber travel tripod, expertly crafted for videographers and photographers who demand both portability and performance. This ultra-lightweight tripod, weighing just 1.19kg, is equipped with a VEO PV-10 Arca compatible video head, making it an ideal choice for those utilizing heavy long lenses or spotting scopes.

The tripod features a 5-section design with 23mm diameter legs, ensuring a perfect blend of stability and compactness. When folded, the Alta Pro 3VLT measures a mere 54cm, yet it extends to an impressive height of 148cm without the need for a central column. The absence of a central column is replaced by an innovative built-in leveling base, which includes a 45mm base with a spirit bubble, allowing for 360-degree rotation and +/-15-degree vertical movement. This design not only simplifies leveling on uneven terrain but also enables the legs to fold more closely together, enhancing portability.

The tripod's legs are equipped with non-slip rubber feet and silent twist leg locks, designed with Vanguard's technical expertise for quick setup and easy maintenance. For versatile shooting angles, the tripod offers three leg positions at 23, 50, and 80 degrees, allowing it to lower to just 195mm for macro or low-angle shots.

On the side of the tripod canopy, a 3/8" thread hole with a 1/4" adapter is available for attaching accessories via a magic arm, ensuring your setup is secure with Vanguard's non-slip bayonet slot fittings. The closed bridge VEO PV-10 video head, weighing only 370g, provides smooth fluid movement with a 215mm foldable handle and features a counterbalance system for effortless leveling. The head's pan-lock knob allows for 360-degree rotation, while the tilt locking knob offers vertical angles between -75 and +90 degrees. Additionally, the tension control lets you adjust the speed of vertical movement for optimal footage capture.

The Arca compatible clamp on the video head accommodates various Arca compatible plates, including the standard QS-56P quick shoe, which features a non-twist spring pin for secure camera positioning. The quick release plate includes removable non-slip pins and can be easily detached using the push button on the clamp's side.

Manufactured with Vanguard's CNC technology and aircraft-grade aluminum for load-bearing components, the Alta Pro 3VLT 235CV 10 ensures exceptional durability and quality. This tripod is designed with a focus on stability, portability, and height, and comes with a luxury padded shoulder bag for convenient transport and protection.
