Vanguard Alta Pro 263AGH tripod (aluminum, 2 drawers, load capacity up to 7 kg, max height 174 cm, incl. Pistol grip GH-100) (accessory)

Customer Review

The Vanguard Alto Pro 263AGH should serve as a stand for concert recordings (video function of the SLR) and take pictures of landscapes, especially for long exposures. Here, the tripod has both robust, ie be easy to transport, to can capture in situations where you might come across an interesting spot on a tour, quickly.

The tripod is supplied with the pistol grip GH-100, which allows a simple and easy and without associated with large bucking camera.

Legs / feet:
==========================
The legs of the tripod are achieved / secured with plastic clips. After loosening the clips the feet have in my version not so high weight that selections automatically happens. which can have advantages but also disadvantages. Specifically want to build if you einhändigt the tripod / needs (eg because the camera is already in one hand and the clips are released when the status is clamped under the arm), on the other hand it has the advantage that you realize the feet can pull out and not just ran the foot everywhere pops during extension.

The clips will be just as easily sealed again, what is gratifying, since no high force is required, and so even relatively ruckel free "readjustments" during is already built, are possible.

Once the legs are fully extended, the stand occupies an area of ​​1m x 1m x 1m in an equilateral triangle.

In addition, the legs can be folded upwards, so that for example, the tripod can be stabilized on a wall (see also set pictures). So interesting stabilization may be undertaken, should one or two legs not to be fixed on the ground.

Spikes:
==========================
The legs have spikes, so that even on icy or slippery conditions, positioning is possible. The spikes can be "brought home", in which the rubber feet will be screwed up. This is also easy and requires no expenditure of energy. The rubber feet must be screwed several turns, so that the spikes fully come to light.

Upper Arm:
==========================
The upper arm is adjusted by an adjusting screw and can be moved up and down easily and without jerking. The materials of the guide and the arm slide well, so that even the finest readjustments without much bucking are possible (for example in a video recording).

The upper arm can also be mounted the other way around, so that for example, overhead shots / macro shooting on the ground (picture then subsequently reflected) are dense possible.

But Interestingly the authorization provided by Tripod opportunity to position the upper arm in different angles, so that, for example recordings over a bridge parapet are possible (Caution: note focus of the overall design, everything else is two floors below!)

Tools:
==========================
Also positive, albeit a bit annoying when it always rattles on its feet, are mounted with a ribbon tools that allow the tripod carriage / can be solved attached. Here on the stand, it makes sense and is therefore always ready to hand.

Experiences from the outdoor use:
============================
The stand is sturdy and I trust the device to some. It included a Beschwerungstasche to shift the focus - not to be sniffed straight into "dangerous" situations. Furthermore, a carrying case is that they always center would be operated, if one is in the field - the spontaneous clippers will probably pass up and transport the tripod with an appropriate backpack or in your hand.

Potential for improvement:
============================
The upper arm has to rustle under its own weight, the habit in the dissolved state like down. If, however, the legs are folded up (together), scratching the upper arm to the material of the legs and there may be abrasions. Unfortunately I currently do not see any possibility that design reasons to prevent because the upper arm otherwise no longer rotate / is changing bar or take the legs by limiting the mobility of the tripod mobility - here, the user must therefore be careful and a lot to prove to indifference: )

Furthermore, I have the GH-100 not illuminated, as I have already ordered a delivery for ball head and permanently in use. The handle is pretty clunky and sufficient for photos with time adjustment. The handle itself may be helpful for moving images (videos or continuous shooting). I have the GH-100 therefore no longer illuminated.

What has also been lacking to me the one time or another is a Velcro strap, which allows you to bind the stand at a railing so that just in case just has to be not a total loss. At least there is a little safety in windy conditions or if it wobbles times.

Also said Velcro can be used to keep the legs in the folded (but extended) position together. As in the extended state have the legs when worn by a different focus and move your legs apart, therefore, helps a fixation with the band.

Furthermore, I have a towel or cloth or a piece of foam / bubble wrap to take in positioning of the tripod with contact with an object (eg railings) the vibrations but also to protect the tripod against dirt / damage.
