Pros & Cons

Pros

The vanguard tripod is a wonder to behold, and i enjoyed describing details of this unit. It's like someone who’s been driving a 1985 toyota tercel and just upgraded to a self driving tesla. It is a good piece of kit, but a little less sturdy than it ...  Read More

Carbon fiber is very lightweight and very strong in some situations. The heaviest camera i own is a fujifilm which weighs only a bit over two pounds. This tripod clicks multiple boxes for anyone who, like me, was looking for something small, light and...  Read More

Each of the three legs has three cylindrical knobs, where each knob is used to secure and immobilize the section. The swivel head allows for easy adjustment of the camera.

Use of this tripod is truly intuitive (at least for me). Even though it didn't exactly work the way i was (perhaps foolishly) wanting it to, i'm very pleased with the product otherwise and find myself wanting to take it with me on outings.

Price


The price is steep when compared to lower quality units


I have thought about getting a carbon fiber tripod for travel but when i have looked into it the price was usually around 350 s...  Read More


The price is a bit high for the average person but for carbon fiber it doesnt seem high

Packaging/appearance


It works well with my canon dslr and the carbon fiber construction along with the manner of which you can fold it all back down...  Read More

Competitiveness


I tested this with my sony a7 riii body with a metabones adapter and a canon 100400mm lens


I am using this with a manfrotto head and a canon 7d with 70200l and 100400l lenses which are not lightweight lenses or gear


The ball head on this is very easily removed there is a hex screw holding it in place once that is removed it is a standard twi...  Read More


Dont get me wrong it is very nice but there are some tradeoffs and compromises you make with this tripod compared to say my ma...  Read More

    But the size of the tripod is the one flaw


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    For some reason this tripod only goes up to about 56 high


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    With my camera mounted a canon 70d dslr the viewfinder is about 60 off the ground

    Which means in order to use this tripod i have to hunch down a good 5 inches even with the tripod fully extended


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I have found this to be somewhat annoying


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I should note that it was a bit disconcerting to see the amount of flex in this cf tripod compared to my other aluminum tripods
