Review on Vanguard Alta Pro 263AP Tripod by Carrie Green

Overall this is a great tripod and very durable, especially for regular tripod use. A DSLR that makes ordinary tripods wobble when autofocusing. This tripod almost completely eliminates AF shake and is much easier to set up and adjust quickly when I need to shoot quickly. When I use it to record my art videos I use the hover function and it works great for what it does. I only have three small complaints 1. The center column is not long enough to fully meet my needs. I believe if it was 6-8 inches longer it would be perfect. 2. The legs should have some sort of locking lock where they connect to the tripod itself so it doesn't move after it's set up if you don't want it to. 3. The GH100 ball head adopts a quick release adapter that does not match any other quick release plate. It's very cumbersome to change adapters when you need to quickly switch to another tripod. If they made a separate plate for the GH100 adapter I would buy it in a heartbeat.
