The Vanguard Alta+ 233AO Tripod W/PH-21 Panhead provides the stability, durability and reliability you want in your gear. The aluminum legs have settings for 25°, 50°, and 80° with easy-release buttons for quick set-up. This lightweight (3.5 lbs/1.6 kg) tripod collapses to 24" (61 cm) and can be extended up to 4.75' (1.45 m)--and it supports up to 6.6 lbs (3 kg). All-weather foam grip legs, magnesium die-cast canopy and head, non-slip, spiked rubber feet and a removable hook for hanging camera accessories make this tripod a great addition to your kit bag. A backup safety lock for the camera plate, a larger plate and fluid head with a bubble level make it indispensable.
