Vanguard’s VESTA 3 263AO is the perfect aluminium tripod solution for birders using a spotting scopes, or for use with binoculars in a hide clamp*
The 3-section 26mm diameter aluminium legs have three easy set leg angles for 20°, 50° and 80° leg angles, with flip locks for easy deployment and rubber feet.
Weighing just 2085g and folding to 67.5cm, this solid tripod can be extended up to 169cm (139cm without extending the central column) while supporting a maximum load capacity of up to 6kg to support even the largest spotting scopes.
The kit comes fitted with an Arca compatible PH-26 2-way pan head is CNC machined from lightweight aluminium alloy. The head can pan 360° and tilt -91° to +30° with complete control using just one hand, leaving your other hand free to adjust focus and zoom on your spotting scope.
If the foot of your spotting scope is Arca compatible you can fit it directly into the clamp of the PH-26 for the most secure fit. If not, the kit includes a compact Arca QS-55P quick release plate that is designed for spotting scopes with a non-twist spring pin that ensures the quick release plate cannot unscrew from the base of your spotting scope.
There is also a tripod bag to keep your tripod safe on the go.
So if you’re looking for a solid base for your spotting scope at a great price, then the VESTA 3 Birding Series could be your perfect partner.
