Vanguard Alta Pro 3VLT 235AV 12 - Aluminium Travel Tripod with Levelling Base and Video Head - 5kg Load Capacity

The Alta Pro 3VLT 235AV 12 is a marvel of modern engineering, merging ultra-light portability with top-notch functionality. Crafted from CNC-machined aluminium, this travel tripod is equipped with a built-in levelling base and the sleek VEO PV-12 Arca-compatible video head, making it a standout choice for videographers and photographers who need reliable gear on the go.

Weighing in at just 1235g, this tripod’s 5-section, 23mm diameter legs fold down to a compact 54cm but extend up to an impressive 148cm, all without the need for a central column. Its legs feature non-slip rubber feet and a slim profile that allows them to be folded to a circumference of just 195mm, so it’s easy to carry or stow in your camera bag. The tripod also boasts silent twist-lock leg adjustments that are both quick to set up and easy to clean, ensuring longevity and hassle-free maintenance.

The innovative built-in levelling base replaces the traditional central column, incorporating a 45mm platform that rotates 360° and adjusts ±15° vertically. This makes it a breeze to level your tripod and perfect your shot on any terrain. With three adjustable leg angles (23°, 50°, and 80°), the tripod can get as low as 195mm for those dramatic low-angle or macro shots.

The VEO PV-12 video head, with its open bridge design, is a featherweight at just 335g, yet delivers smooth, fluid movement thanks to its single 215mm handle that folds down for easy packing. It includes a counterbalance to ensure your camera returns to level smoothly and a pan-lock knob for full 360° rotation. The head's large tilt locking knob adjusts from -75° to +90°, and the side control lets you fine-tune vertical movement for optimal video capture.

The Arca-compatible clamp on the video head is versatile, accommodating almost any Arca plate or spotting scope with an Arca foot. The super compact QS-56P quick shoe ensures a secure fit with a non-twist spring pin and traditional locking knob.
