Davis & Sanford Vista Explorer VTB Aluminum Tripod with BHQ8 Ball Head

Capable of reaching heights of up to 63" and going as low as 7.5", the Vista Explorer VTB Tripod from Davis & Sanford is a versatile support system designed for holding DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. It comes complete with an all-way ball head that tilts up to 90°, a QR plate with a 1/4"-20 screw for easy attachment and release, and a padded carrying bag for transport. Thanks to its aluminum construction, the tripod has a low weight of 3 lb while still safely supporting gear up to 8 lb.

Four leg sections operated by lever locks and a two-segment center column are used to allow the Explorer to reach its maximum height, and can be completely collapsed for a comfortable carrying length of 21". Each leg can be independently adjusted to three different angles, and features a soft pad on the top section that acts as a hand warmer and protector. The ball head has a bubble level right next to the plate, and the base of the tripod comes fitted with both a bubble level and a small compass for precise positioning. If increased stability is required, you can place a sandbag or other heavy weight on the ballast hook at the bottom of the center column, or expose the spike on the rubber feet for use in rough terrain.
