A perfect product for the price!

This tripod is quite versatile! The height and angles are both adjustable: its head could be adjusted to vertical / horizontal. Besides, it is light and easy to be brought out, and it could hold the camera quite steadily. I highly recommend it.

This tripod is quite versatile! The height and angles are both adjustable: its head could be adjusted to vertical / horizontal. Besides, it is light and easy to be brought out, and it could hold the camera quite steadily. I highly recommend it.

The VESTA TB 235AB is a no nonsense, lightweight and compact aluminum travel tripod kit that is designed for maximum portability, but is still delivers a stable base for most mirrorless or DSLR camera kits. This travel tripod kit features an aluminum tripod and an Arca Swiss compatible ball head. With a maximum load capacity of 9.9 pounds, this combination is perfect for most DSLR/mirrorless camera kits.

This 23mm aluminum travel kit weighs 2.7 pounds and the 5-sections allow it to fold down to 14.8 inches for maximum portability. Despite this portability, this kit can cope with most mirrorless/DSLR camera kits and extend to 56 inches. For macro/low-angle photography, this travel tripod has three easy set leg angles (21 Degree , 50 Degree and 80 Degree ) and comes with low angle adapter that allows you to remove the central column and get low to the ground. Alternatively you can simply reverse the central column. It also includes an Arca Swiss compatible VESTA T-51 Ball Head with a large locking knob for ease of tightening/loosening in the field, and a QS-64 quick release plate. This head also has a separate pan-lock that allows you to create smooth panoramas, without the fear of unscrewing the ball head or losing the level on the camera.

Vanguard Quick Shoe Release Plate QS-60S for VEO, TBH, BBH, GH-200 & GH-300T and Arca Compatible Tripod Heads

The Vanguard QS-64 Quick Shoe is a handy accessory that speeds up attachment & detachment to tripods. Featuring a Arca-type compatible design, 1/4" camera screw and anti-slip rubber pads, this accessory provides a solid and steady linkage in just seconds. It works especially well with a variety of Vanguard products.

Having the same number of quick release shoes as the number of cameras or scopes in ensures the rapid change of equipment with minimal fuss, essential for the professional or advanced amateur photographer.
