Alta Pro 3VRL 304CT - Carbon Tripod with removable levelling base - 25kg load capacity

The Alta Pro 3VRL 304CT is an ultra-tall CNC machined carbon fibre tripod with a removable levelling base which includes a separate flat platform. A perfect combination that delivers incredible stability for videographers, photographers, heavy long lenses or spotting scopes.

The 4-section, 30mm diameter legs are designed to maximise stability and height, reaching up to 1.5m without needing to extend a central column. Perfect for even the tallest photographer.

The solid legs also incorporate silent twist leg locks with Vanguard's technical design that can hold up to 25kg fully extended. They are also designed to be easy to clean, allowing you to maximise the life of your tripod. For full cleaning instructions, view our blog.

Replacing a traditional central column is a solid 75mm aluminium levelling bowl that has ±15° vertical movement and a 360° pan that allows you to get on target and adjust the framing of your shot with ease. This levelling bowl includes a 3/8" thread that allows you to fit any suitable tripod head, with grub screws to ensure the head is on tight.

Underneath the levelling base is a handle with a textured rubber grip. This can be used to help control the level making it easier to line up the perfect composition and then lock it in position when you're happy, while offering a point to hold comfortably to maximise stability.

The levelling platform can also be removed in seconds to maximise versatility, and the Alta Pro 3VRL also includes a lightweight flat platform with reversible 3/8" or 1/4" thread for when a simpler non levelling option is required . If you have a range of styles, additional levelling platforms and flat platforms are available to purchase, allowing you to switch between your chosen kit in seconds, without needing to remove and reattach the head.

For low angle or macro shots the tripod is equipped with three easy-set leg angles, (23°, 50° and 80°), allowing the tripod to go down to just 285mm.

On the side of the tripod canopy is a a 3/8" thread hole with a 1/4" adaptor that is designed to fit any magic arm, allowing you to attach accessories to maximise your shoot. This also includes Vanguard's non-slip bayonet slot fittings, so it guarantees that when used with a VEO TSA DLX your magic arm won't come loose in the middle of your shot.

At the base, there are retractable rubber feet that can be set as either rubber or stainless steel spiked feet in seconds.

This tripod is manufactured with Vanguard's CNC technology, using aircraft grade aluminium for load bearing parts alongside Vanguard's anodising process to ensure outstanding quality that is backed by Vanguard's 10 year extended manufacturer's warranty.

Designed with height and stability front of mind, this tripod weighs just 2050g with the removable levelling base (or an incredible 1710g if you use the flat platform) and folds down to 580mm, and comes with a luxury padded shoulder bag to keep it safe at home or on the go or make it easy to carry.
