Vanguard Alta Pro 3VLT travel tripod series released

Vanguard has introduced the Alta Pro 3VLT, a new line of lightweight travel tripods designed for photographers and videographers

This series is aimed squarely at hybrid creators, with Vanguard telling us it aims to address the growing need for video-capable tripods that are easy to transport.

The Alta Pro 3VLT is travel-friendly. With a folded length of 54cm, a slim profile with a diameter of 6cm and a weight starting at 1.155kg, it meets IATA hand luggage guidelines.

A notable feature of this tripod is its CNC-machined levelling system, crafted from aircraft-grade aluminium. The system offers ±15° tilt and 360° rotation, enabling quick levelling on uneven terrain.

The tripod extends to a height of 148cm and supports a maximum load of 5kg, providing stability for cameras, long lenses or spotting scopes.

The series offers two head options: the VEO PV-10 for traditional two-point support and the lighter VEO PV-12. Both are Arca-compatible and include tilt and pan locks, a counterbalance mechanism and a 21.5cm handle for precise adjustments.

Additional features include rubber or spiked feet for varied surfaces and two 1/4″ accessory threads for mounting tools like microphones or lights.

The Vanguard VEO PV-10 tripods are available in aluminium or carbon fibre, with prices ranging from £269.99 to £349.99. For more information visit the Vanguard website.
