Vanguard Vesta TB 235CB Carbon Fiber Tripod with T-51 Ball Head

This Vesta TB 235CB Carbon Fiber Tripod Kit from Vanguard features a carbon fiber tripod to maximize durability while limiting weight. The kit supports up to 9.9 lb, measures 14.8" when folded, and includes a T-51 Ball Head with QS-64 Quick Release Plate. Each of its 5-section legs features an independent spread as well as twist locks for rapid deployment. Together, the three legs can be extended and spread to raise the tripod from a minimum height of 10.8" to a maximum height of 48.6" or 56" with its push-and-pull, rapid center column fully raised. To enhance stability on a wide variety of surfaces, each leg includes a rubber foot.

Cameras, lenses, or sport optics that are compatible with a 1/4"-20 mount can be connected to the included quick release plate, which features a rubberized, non-slip platform. The quick release plate can be attached or removed from the integrated, Arca-type clamp located at the top of the head's ball-and-socket joint by tightening or loosening the clamp's knurled, locking knob.

By loosening the ball head's primary locking knob, the head's ball-and-socket joint can be quickly swiveled, angled, fully tilted, or returned to its upright position. Opposite the primary locking knob, a second locking knob controls the ability to pan the head 360°. For added versatility, the tripod's 2-section, twist-lock center column is reversible, facilitating low-angle photography where an attached camera is positioned among the tripod's legs instead of above them.
