Vanguard, maker of the popular Alta+ series of tripods, is about to release the new Vanguard Alta Pro tripod, which makes photography possible at virtually any angle. Unlike traditional tripods, the Multi-Angle Central Column allows users to move the central column as needed from zero to 130-degree angles in variable vertical and horizontal positions and at any angle a 360° scope is available, while its Instant Swivel Stop-n-Lock System feature allows photographers to securely reposition the central column in one simple movement.

The Alta Pro will be available in three models:
- Alta Pro 283CT: carbon fiber, extends 66 inches, holds up to 17.6 lbs.
- Alta Pro 263AT: aluminium, holds up to 15.4 lbs.
- Alta Pro 264AT: aluminium, extends 61 inches, holds up to 15.4 lbs.
