Review on πŸ”’ Enhance Stability and Control: The Vanguard Alta BH-250 Ball Head by David Cash

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Wow Vanguard on tripod heads

So my memory of the Vanguard are discount tripods at department stores or electronics stores that you bought out of necessity rather than durability. I say this to apologize for not giving them a chance in the last 15 years. This ball head is the best I've bought in years. It's better than my Manfrotto and many others. The handling of this part is impeccable. It's durable but not too heavy. Oh my god, this thing's locking and friction is light years ahead of anything I've tested. I also like the rubber grips. They don't look cheap at all. Really the only cheap part of this is the bladder, but actually I'm just biased. In all seriousness, I've now put Vanguard on my shortlist for its reliability, durability, and flawless usability. Whoever designed this must be a photographer as it's like an extension of the camera. Vanguard blew my mind, great work!

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
