The Vanguard Alta+ 233AO Aluminum Alloy Tripod is designed for camcorder & spotting scopes; it offers a very lightweight magnesium alloy canopy and head. The legs can all be adjusted individually to 3 different angles (25° 50° 80°) for uneven terrain and low angle shooting. The dual locking safety mechanism and anti-shock ring prevent the damage that can be caused by equipment vibration and will eliminate any worries you might have about your equipment falling from the tripod during transportation. Ergonomic handles, easy to lock panhead, large foam grips for all weather use and spiked rubber feet for increased stability are all features offered by this series.
