Description: Vanguard was founded in 1986 and has been a key OEM manufacturer of quality tripods and accessories for the photo trade. With a new commitment to sell and promote their products directly under their own label, Vanguard has introduced some award winning new designs that have us very excited. We are proud to introduce you to Vanguard monopods, tripods and ball heads that include a Lifetime Limited Warranty. We hope that you are as impressed with their products as we are.Vanguard Alta Pro 263AT Aluminum Multi Angle Tripod Kit includes GH100 Grip Ball HeadThe ALTA PRO 263AGH aluminum tripod kit with Alta GH100 Grip Ball Head is a 3 section tripod kit that is ideal action photography where getting the shot just right makes all the difference.Unlike traditional tripods, Vanguard Alta Pro's innovative Multi-Angle Central Column (MACC) allows users to move the central column as needed from through a 130-degree arc in variable vertical and horizontal positions and at any angle, while able to separately rotate a full 360° horizontally. Its Instant Swivel Stop-n-Lock (ISSL) System feature allows photographers to securely reposition the central column in one simple movement, in just a few seconds, while maintaining the tripod's stability. This design has been done before, but Vanguard has introduced some new patent pending features that makes the Alta Pro series a step above the rest. This Aluminum Alta Pro 263AT is a breeze to set up and a pleasure to use. From the minute you remove it from the box, you can feel the quality construction. The flip locks have a positive feel and lock sure and quick. The same can be said for the leg angle locks. They are conveniently and logically located, furthermore their design insures that the leg angle locks cannot be activated accidentally. Another plus is the legs can be fully closed without using the leg angle locks. The locks automatically reset so that the legs only open to the normal angel on the next use. The legs can be independently locked at 3 angels; 25°, 50°, and 80°.The Multi Angle Central Column is a breeze to use. Simply raise the center column to its highest point while pressing the safety release at the base of the column, flip open the Instant Swivel Lock and tilt the column to the desired position. Resetting the ISSL (Instant Swivel Stop Lock) firmly locks the column at the desired angle and no amount of reasonable force will move the column. This is a feature we have not seen on any other multi angle tripod and a reason why Vanguard is a leader in design. A separate pan lock permits a full horizontal rotation and the center column extension can be set up to 16" with the column elevation lock. The hexagonal design of the center column provides unparalleled rigidity and positive locking. This makes the Alta Pro perfect as a copy stand or for macro photography.GH-100 Grip Ball HeadFusing the smooth precision of a ball head with impressive ergonomic control, Vanguard GH-100 enables you to position your camera or spotting scope quickly with unmatched versatility. This well-engineered ball head has the Grip Position Release System with an industry-leading pistol grip-style handle, which rotates 360 degrees and enables you to unlock, reposition and lock gear into place with ease. Its one-handed, maximum comfort and convenient operation frees your other hand to make lens zoom adjustments. Depression of the handle allows 360-degrees of panning movement and -32 to +90-degrees of side-to-side tilt and -8 to +90-degree back to front tilt movement all round. It instantly locks into place with simple release of the handle. Other impressive features include its Friction Control System which allows you to modify the level of friction on the ball to accommodate changing equipment weight such as switching to heavier lenses. The anodized center ball allows for extremely fluid movement without sacrificing precise control. GH-100 ensures the safety of your expensive equipment with a dual-locking quick shoe mechanism that prevents accidental release. It lets you attach and detach your gear quickly and efficiently. Other notable features include its 72-click point panorama, offering 72-point rotation with click-into-place positioning that moves the camera 5 degrees per click and prevents jumps in shots to ensure a perfect 360-degree panorama.GH-100 provides impressive versatility in positioning with 360-degree horizontal movement and 90-angle tilt.Key Features:Magnesium Alloy HeadQS-65GH Camera PlateFriction-Controlled movements-45 to 90° Tilt360° Pan3 section aluminum tripod legs with ¼ turn lock/unlock twist leg locksAnti-Slip rubber feet – Accepts spiked feet (Optional) Optimized for load capacities up to 15.4lbs / 7kg Carrying bag included SpecificationsTripodMaterial: AluminumMaximum Height : 64" (165 cm)Maximum Height w/o Column Extended: 51" (125.5 cm)Minimum Height: 8" ( 20 cm) Folded Length:24.75" ( 63 cm)Load Capacity 15.4 lb / 7.0 kgNumber of Leg Sections: 3Leg Angles: 3 (25°, 50° or 80°)Leg Lock Type: Advanced Twist-LockWeight: 4.5 lb ( 2 kg)GH-100 HeadConstruction Magnesium AlloyTilt (Front/Back): +8⁰ / -90⁰Tilt (Side to side) 32⁰ / 90⁰Height: 4 1/8 " (105 cm)Weight: 1.36 LB (615 g)Load Capacity: 13.2 lb (6 kg)Bubble Level: Yes - 1Kit IncludesAlta Pro Aluminum TripodAlta GH-100 Grip Ball HeadCarry Case With StrapLimited 2-Year Warranty Extendable to 8 Years with US RegistrationItem ConditionItem is open box/refurbished.

I think our feedback shows we have accomplished this. We thank the thousands of customers that have helped us reach this milestone and hope that we can continue to serve the eBay community for many years to come. .Best Offers Our aim to is to give every buyer the best value we can and make a reasonable profit. We are a profit making company and not a charity. We cannot continue to offer our low prices and great service if we give our merchandise away. We only decline offers that do not make sense (cents) for us to accept. For us best value is not just the lowest price on eBay, but the best overall value of product price, free goods - if offered, shipping price, our super fast shipping and Top Seller customer service. When you compare our offer to other sellers, compare the total package! Philly Photo uses the Best Offers feature for several specific reasons: eBay allows us to offer Free Shipping to US buyers but this puts international buyers at an unfair disadvantage since we must always pay shipping. We feel this is unfair, therefore we use Best Offer so that international buyers get the same discount given to US buyers for the free shipping. US buyers should be aware that we will often decline their offers because the free shipping is the Best Offer available for that item. This is often the case with items under $100 or items shipped to the west coast. Many suppliers require that we post a fixed Minimum Advertised Price. For these suppliers we use the Best Offer feature so that you can purchase the item at a discounted price. In many cases we also offer free goods or free shipping on these items. US buyers need to calculate the free shipping as part of the discount, since we are paying the shipping. Depending on the offer, we will also not include any free items with Best Offers. We carefully analyze each and every offer to see if it makes sense for us to make the deal and we really want every sale we can get. .We know people make mistakes, change their minds or find that an item just does not fit their needs.

Our Handling Fee includes some or all the following costs: insurance coverage, cost of packing materials, postage service fees, pick up fees, and preparation of documentation..Importation of items from another country can cause significant delays in the arrival of your item. We will can give the approximate shipping times for the arrival of your item but these do not allow for delays by customs officials in both the US and at the final destination. Please consider this in your expectations for travel time and in leaving appropriate feedback. We will remove any feedback that refers to slow shipping caused by customs delays. Most foreign countries impose a duty, customs charge or value added tax on items shipped from the US. This charge is added by the shipping company, not us, and collected at delivery. This money is collected by your government and none of it comes to us. Please check with YOUR postal or customs authorities to determine the amount and reporting requirements. We have a difficult time understanding our own tax system and we have absolutely no desire to figure out the customs of the 50 or so other countries we ship to. We will not under-value or declare items as a gift on customs forms to enable the avoidance of customs fees. This is against US and international Postal Regulations. We accept no responsibility, financially or legally, for any customs duty or VAT charged to items upon final delivery. These charges are the buyer's responsibility as the result of making a foreign purchase. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. We will remove any feedback that refers to unfair customs charges..DisclaimerAt the time of this item posting to eBay, all details, specifications and descriptions are accurate to the best of our knowledge based on information supplied by the manufacturer.
