Vanguard Alta Pro 263AT brand_Argus not in the sense thatThe Vanguard Alta Pro 263AT is a sturdy tripod with flip lock legs and a handy variable angle centre column that can be laid out horizontally for close up or copystand work. Not exactly a lightweight, thanks in part to the sturdy centre column mechanism, but not punishingly heavy (its about 2kg). Rated to support up to about 6. 9kg, though! That aint bad. Light cosmetic wear, good function. Head is sold separately.
