The Best Tripod (for Most People)

After spending more than 16 hours researching and testing tripods and putting in three years of heavy use, we think theVanguard Alta Pro is the best choice for most photographers. It has all the features you’d want in a tripod, and it’s a great value for the price. You’ll probably want to pick up the 263AB 100 kit, as it includes the SBH-100 tripod head, which is otherwise sold separately.
