Vanguard Alta Pro 263AB 100 Aluminum Tripod Kit

Q: Its so confusing,whats the difference with the 263 tripod kits and tripod, does that mean for 169$ you only get the tripod head?

The trick is to look at the last (second) letter in the model number. If it ends with "T" then it's just the tripod legs. "B" stands for ball head, so if the name ends in "B" you get the tripod legs and the a ball head. "P" stands for pistol-grip head. The first letter stands for the name of the material: "A" for aluminum, "C" for carbon fiber. So if the model number is 263AB, it means that it's the aluminum tripod legs plus a ball head.

Q: Is there any difference between the 263AB and 264AB? I'm not really seeing any difference.

Vanguard Alta Pro 263AB is both taller and larger than the 264AB. Both are virtually identical in weight, and have identical 7.0kg load capacities.I own both, the 263AB is a full-size (height-wise) tripod, while the 264AB is subtly more compact, which is noticeable when you set them up side-by-side. If you are of average height you may find you do not need to extend the center column with the 263AB very often, while you will probably need to extend the center column on the shorter 264AB most of the time. This technically affects stability, but the ~4" of extension is generally not significant for casual use. A big difference for me is that the 264AB will fit inside almost all airline carry-on bags I use (with the ball head removed), whereas the 264AB usually does not fit (at least in bags that are regulation size...).* 3-segment legs vs. 4-segment legs* 1730mm (68.125") extended height vs. 1625mm (64") extended height* 1425mm (56.125") minimum extended height vs. 1390mm (54.75") minimum extended height* 715mm (28.125") folded height vs. 625mm (24.625") folded heighthttp://www.vanguardworld.com/index.php/pv/products/detail-1-4-225-623.htmlhttp://www.vanguardworld.com/index.php/en/pv/products/detail-1-4-225-622.html

Q: Can this tripod get really low to the ground/spread out on the ground without extending the arm out?

The Legs DO fold out further, so that you can get lower to the ground. If you want to get lower, what you can do is slide up the middle piece all the way up, it comes out. Then you can flip it upside down so that the camera is now between the 3 legs. Sure your photo will be upside down, but that's what the rotate function is for in your photo editor.

Rock steady !

Worth every penny ! The alloy build makes it bulky but it's stable at every angle as advertised. They also include a spare mounting stage. Indoor or outdoor, this is a beast (a heavy one).
