Tripod Vanguard Vesta 203AP (Vesta 203AP)

The Vesta 203AP is a simple and easy-to-use, lightweight and affordable full-size tripod from the leading manufacturer of photo/video accessories, Vanguard. An excellent option for family photo sessions, landscapes, portraits, watching birds or animals. It also provides a host of other visualization capabilities with sports and astronomical optics. The tripod is really not heavy, it can be attached to a bag or backpack without feeling weighed down.

The aluminum 3-section Vesta 203AP tripod has an ergonomic PH-23 head for smooth panning. Thanks to the QS-29 tripod platform quick-release mount, photo-video equipment and optical devices are quickly and easily attached to the tripod head.

For accurate horizontal alignment, a bubble level is installed on the tripod.

Beveled non-slip lugs are designed to provide reliable traction on all types of terrain. Leg sections are fixed with eccentric Quick-flip clamps, which allow you to quickly and easily unfold or fold the tripod and adjust the height as needed. Raise, lower and make precise adjustments to the tripod, setting it at any height.

Ergonomic design. Vanguard does not adhere to the traditional round shape of clamps and clamps, because applying too much force to lock the tripod is uncomfortable, especially in the cold or when the fingers are wet. Vanguard has designed its ergonomically shaped locking components to be user-friendly. The clamps have a deep profiled coating or rubber inserts for optimal contact during use. At first glance, this may seem like a small thing, but with regular use of the tripod, it is extremely important, and it is in such small things that the company's concern for users lies.

Aluminum 6063-T5. The weight of the tripod and the stability of the tripod are among its most important characteristics. Aluminum-based alloys are the optimal material for the production of tripods in terms of strength, light weight and optimal cost. The telescopic sections of the tripods do not have high requirements for strength and load, but it is important to get an ideal profile with a smooth surface and high suitability for anodization. Aluminum alloy Alu 6063-T5 (AL-Mg-Si) belongs to alloys of medium strength, but it is lighter, has better corrosion resistance, forms ideal shapes by extrusion and is most suitable for applying strong protective coatings by anodizing, unlike other popular aluminum alloys.
