Best travel carbon tripod

What a great tripod this little gem is- it literally has all the qualities of a professional grade tripod but without the price tag! Its light, made with carbon fiber, pivots when popped out, has a level, has a pro twist locking system and pack tight! I haven't had any problems with it yet and looking forward to travelling with it! Highly recommend if you're hesitant about packing a tripod for shoots and don't want to spend too much.

Not well built.

For the amount of money I paid for this Tripod I expect it to last more than 1 year. I take good care of my equipment, but one of this tripod's legs has come apart and it's useless now. Total waste of money. I won't be buying Vanguard products again.

Great Tripod

It would be hard for me to rate the Alta Pro 2+ CT anything other then 5 stars. The engineering the design that are present in this tripod are truly remarkable to me. After all the issues I had with my previous tripod (Manfrotto) I had pretty lofty expectations for Vanguard. I primarily photograph landscapes so semi lightweight and dependable in all weather conditions is essential. My only issue is that it doesn't have a hook to add weight when placing on a windy ridge or on the edge of a stream. Hopefully they make a hook that will work with the attachment plug.

Wonderful tripod for nature photography.

My search for a nature photography tripod lead me to the Alta Pro 2+. Being able to to move the center column off vertical axis and get in close to what Im shooting has made me wet to use a tripod vs taking a quick photo that is not what I ultimately want because its no fun working with a regular tripod. The 1/4 turn locks on the legs and the sturdy rubber feet make setting up this tripod a breeze. Every tripod has its +- and there is not one tripod that does it all but this is the closest I have come to the perfect tripod. I haven't found the perfect head for it yet so if anyone has any ideas on a good head please share.
