Explore the versatility and precision of the Alta Pro 3VLT 5-Section Aluminum Travel Tripod with VEO PV-12 Video Head, an ideal companion for videographers and photographers who demand portability without sacrificing performance. This CNC machined aluminum travel tripod is engineered with a built-in leveling base, replacing the traditional central column to enhance stability and ease of use. The tripod is paired with the VEO PV-12 Arca compatible video head, offering a seamless blend of functionality and convenience for those on the move.

The Alta Pro 3VLT 235AV 12 is designed with 5-section legs, each with a 23mm diameter, providing an optimal balance of portability and usability. Weighing just 1.23kg, it folds down to a compact 54cm, yet extends up to 148cm without the need for a central column. The non-slip rubber feet ensure stability on various terrains, while the silent twist leg locks, featuring Vanguard's advanced design, allow for quick setup and easy maintenance, prolonging the tripod's lifespan.

The innovative leveling base, integrated into the tripod canopy, features a 45mm base with a spirit bubble, enabling 360-degree rotation and +/-15-degree vertical movement. This design allows for rapid leveling and composition adjustments, making it perfect for capturing the perfect shot in any environment. The tripod's slimline legs, with a diameter just over 60mm and a circumference of 195mm, fold closely together, making it easy to carry or store in a camera bag.

For low-angle or macro photography, the tripod offers three adjustable leg angles (23, 50, and 80 degrees), allowing it to reach a minimum height of just 195mm. Additionally, the tripod canopy includes a 3/8" thread hole with a 1/4" adapter, perfect for attaching accessories via a magic arm, ensuring your setup remains secure with Vanguard's non-slip bayonet slot fittings.

The VEO PV-12 video head, weighing only 335g, provides smooth fluid movement with a single 215mm handle that folds for easy packing. Its open bridge design reduces weight while maintaining stability, featuring a pan-lock knob for 360-degree rotation and a tilt locking knob for vertical angles between -75 and +90 degrees. The head's tension control allows for precise vertical movement, ensuring smooth video capture.

The Arca compatible clamp on the video head accommodates a wide range of plates, including the included QS-56P quick shoe, which features a non-twist spring pin for secure camera positioning. The quick release plate is equipped with removable non-slip pins and a push button for easy release.

Both the tripod and video head are crafted using Vanguard's CNC technology with aircraft-grade aluminum, ensuring durability and reliability. Balancing stability, portability, and height, this tripod is a must-have for professionals and enthusiasts alike. It comes with a luxury padded shoulder bag for safe transport and easy access, whether at home or on the go.
