Tripod

Good tripod at reasonable price. Really like the leg adjustment. Relatively light but not so light that I worry about durability. It is a little bit long when folded up and is longer than my camera bag. I would recommend.

Strong but not heavy

What sets the ALTA PRO 2+ 263AP 3-Section Lightweight Aluminum Tripod with ALTA PH-32 3-Way Fluid Pan Head apart is its unique blend of durability, versatility, and lightweight design. This high-performance tripod kit is crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum, ensuring long-lasting performance while maintaining a manageable weight for easy portability.

The tripod features a 3-section design with a 26mm diameter, offering a sturdy platform for your camera gear. The ALTA PH-32 3-Way Fluid Panhead, equipped with dual telescopic handles, provides smooth and precise control over your camera's positioning. With a maximum payload of up to 5 Kg/11 lbs, this tripod can comfortably support a range of camera and lens combinations.

One of the standout features of the ALTA PRO 2+ 263AP is its MACC (Multi-Angle Center Column) system. This innovative feature allows the center column to be positioned at almost any angle, from negative to positive, offering unparalleled creative freedom. The rapid action set-up ensures you're ready to shoot in seconds, while the unique "locked" "unlocked" Twist-Lock system guarantees rock-solid positioning.

The tripod's leg angle selector offers four position angles (20deg., 40deg., 60deg., 80deg.), allowing you to achieve perfect balance on any terrain. The tripod also features non-slip, all-weather TPU grips on two legs and angled rubber feet for firm footing. For added stability, there's a canopy suspension loop for counterbalance weight.

The ALTA PRO 2+ 263AP also includes the ALTA Link, a 3/8 thread bonus connection for attaching accessories like reflectors, articulated arms, and more. The tripod comes with a bonus bag with a shoulder strap for easy transport.

The ALTA PH-32 Fluid Panhead offers independent control of directions, with one handle for 360deg. panning and -30deg. to +90deg. back-to-front tilt, and another for side-to-side tilt. The fluid mechanism ensures smooth panning, ideal for video or observation use. The panhead also features a quick panorama function button for stitching panorama pictures together and a universal Arca-type quick release system with a built-in safety pin.

In summary, the ALTA PRO 2+ 263AP 3-Section Lightweight Aluminum Tripod with ALTA PH-32 3-Way Fluid Pan Head is a robust, versatile, and reliable choice for photographers and videographers seeking a tripod that supports their creative workflow.
