SLIK

Based on 818 reviews Check latest price

Product description

SLIK’s exclusive A.M.T. super titanium alloy legs make the PRO 700 DX tripod rock steady yet lighter than it looks. The A. M. T. alloy has a 40% greater strength to weight ratio than standard aluminum, meaning the legs are lighter weight yet stronger than the standard metal used in most of today’s tripods. Using the same quick release system as the PRO 700 DX tripod head, the Slik Ball Head SBH-808 has one of the fasted and easiest quick release plates in the industry. SLIK made a circular quick release plate that can secure the camera to the tripod pointing in any direction, making attaching your camera (once the SLIK quick release plate is attached) more intuitive than most other heads that have squared off or angled plates. Capable of handling the weight of large format (4x5) field cameras or heavy, long telephoto lenses, The PRO 700 DX offer professional photographers and advanced amateurs the strength and stability they need while its size, and the use of A. M. T. alloy, make it lighter weight and more portable than THE PROFESSIONAL series.

User questions & answers

Question: Is the head detachable? Possible to change heads from what comes along
Answer: Yes. It has a standard 3/8 inch mount so you should be able to mount any head (with standard threading) to the tripod.
Question: Am I correct in assuming this works with a Canon 70 D; and with a heavy and long 200 mm zoom? Thanks
Answer: Short answer, Yes. This tripod is strong enough to handle any 35mm format camera and lens combo (less than 20lbs of total weight). If you’re using a lens that weighs more than the camera body you should use a lens mount to the tripod head to prevent the mounting ring on the camera body from bending or warping. Also, at a rating of almost 20lbs, this tripod should work for any medium format camera and many large format cameras as well!
Question: will this work with a spotting scope or is it set up primarily for cameras
Answer: “In General” spotting scopes and cameras (film SLR, DSLR, mirrorless, video...) use a standard 1/4 inch attachment that is on almost all (haven’t seen one that doesn’t) tripod heads. Tripods are typically sold as a set of legs and head, but they can be found separately. Legs connect to the head typically through a 3/8 inch connector. The head to the camera or scope through a 1/4 inch connector. For a spotting scope, you’ll probably be happiest with a video type tripod head, but in general, any head should work just fine.
Question: Curious to know if the Pro 700DX works well for occasional video applications. Have a D-4, and would like to take some video of my Whippet running
Answer: Sorry this is so late, but hopefully this will help. As far as stability is concerned, this tripod won't let you down. However, for video, panheads just aren't the best way to go. This particular panhead is very smooth and will work decently for video and outperform most other panheads I have dealt with, but you're really going to want a different head for video if you intend to use this tripod.The stability and versatility you get with this tripod are phenomenal for the price. You could buy the legs only (around $100 right now on Amazon) and get a fluid video head (EI-717AH for around $75 on Amazon) and have a great video tripod package for the same price as the 700DX with the panhead. That would be the route I would go if I was planning on shooting video with my tripod.

Product features

AMT Alloy

Slik’s exclusive A.M.T. alloy has a 40% greater strength to weight ratio than standard aluminum. The legs are lighter weight yet stronger than the standard metal used in most of today’s tripods. A.M.T brings the tripod weight closer to a carbon fiber tripod of the same size

Maximum Height

The PRO 700 series gets the camera to eye level on most people without having to raise the center column. With the center column raised the tripod reaches over eye level to up to 76.8 inches depending on which head it used

Multi-angle legs locks

The 3-position adjustable angle leg locks can lock each leg independently at a different angle to make it easy to set up on uneven ground or steps

Flip locks

The SLIK PRO 700 series makes setting up easy with secure yet fast speed release flip leg locks that do not snap back at you when locking. One finger operation is all that is required to open or close each leg lock

PRO 700 DX

The most popular, the original PRO 700 DX comes with the heavy-duty, all aluminum 3-way pan head. This is one of the fasted and easiest to use quick release plates in the industry. SLIK made a circular quick release plate that makes attaching your camera more intuitive than other square or angled heads. Available in natural silver or black legs

PRO 700 BHX

The PRO 700 BHX ball head uses the same circular quick release system as the PRO 700 DX tripod head. The Slik Ball Head SBH-808 has one of the fastest and easiest quick release plates in the industry while also having a separate pan lock so once the camera is leveled it can move horizontally for panoramic photography

PRO 780 DX

The SLIK Pro 780DX uses a new SH-807E all-metal 3-way pan head. This head has improved internal components for smoother movements and improved, larger rubberized grips for more comfortable control. The head has well over a solid pound of finely cast and precisely machined aluminum

User questions & answers

Question: Does this come with a 3/8" or 1/4" stud? I have read conflicting specs online. Some places have mentioned 1/4" while others show both
Answer: If you're asking about the stud that attaches the ball head to the tripod, it comes with both. http://www.vanguardworld.us/photo_video_us/alta-pro-2-263ct.html#go-sectionTop That is vanguard's website. If you scroll down to specs it tells you the tripod comes with both size screws to attach the ball head.
Question: What is the difference between the 2 and the 2Plus
Answer: Hello! The Alta Pro 2+ 263AB 100 has been updated and redesigned both in appearance and functionality. The multi-angle center column is easier than ever to set-up, and there are unique "locked" to "unlocked" twist leg locks. The 3 section legs adjust to 4 leg angle positions: 20, 40, 60, and 80 degrees. There is a canopy suspension loop for counterbalance weight and a 3/8 thread bonus connection for use with accessories. The Alta BH-100 features an arca compatible quick shoe with safety pin and 3 independent adjustment knobs.
Question: The description says the ball head has an "arca-type" quick release. Is it arca swiss compatible? Or just similar
Answer: I'm glad Vanguard finally switched to Arca Swiss. My Vanguard whatever-100 head is a year old and a small fraction of an inch larger than Arca Swiss. :( I replaced the clamp on my new head.
Question: The headline of this ad says that the item is the alta pro 2+ 263ab but the pictures show the alta pro 263at. which is it
Answer: The legs are the Alta Pro 2+ 263AT. The head is an Alta BH-100. Combined they make the kit which is called the Alta Pro 2+ 263AB 100.

User questions & answers

Question: it comes with a bag or case
Answer: Keep in mind if you get the one with the pan head that it is very hard to fit it into the case. I usually have to remove the handles to get it in.
Question: Can this tripod get really low to the ground/spread out on the ground without extending the arm out
Answer: 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.
Question: Its so confusing,whats the difference with the 263 tripod kits and tripod, does that mean for 169$ you only get the tripod head
Answer: 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.
Question: Is there any difference between the 263AB and 264AB? I'm not really seeing any difference
Answer: 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

User questions & answers

Question: The description says "Universal ball head design with 2 locks and 360 degree dial..." Are there separate locks for panning and the ball position
Answer: I have had a 1DSMKii with a 600L lens on it and the ball head held it fine. That said it was more a test per say, not sure I would feel to great on using the head for that particular combo routinely, but in a fix with me right there, it will do. Just need to make sure the lock knob is very tight. Also thought tilt pan is pretty good, not the smoothest head by any means and the tension knob has very little fine tune adjustment.
Question: Does this allow for vertical photos? I am taking pictures of dresses
Answer: If you will be doing a lot of "portrait" format photography, like dresses, you really want to get an inexpensive L bracket like the 3 Legged Thing QR11-LG Universal L-Bracket. Then you can easily mount your camera in the verticle orientation on the tripod.
Question: As a retired photographer I have a number of medium aluminum Bogen tripods..How does this compare
Answer: I don't have a Bogen although I know their rugged reputation. I have found the Neewer carbon fiber tripod to be very light weight, less than half the weight of my aluminum heavy duty tripod. I am in France now, using it with a Nikon d7100 and some fairly heavy telephoto lenses and it is rock steady. Very easy to use and set up. The quick lock camera mount and shoe are easy to use and has no play in it at all. Really like. Has a nice hard case cylinder with strap for carrying. One of the reasons I got it is that is very compact and fits in my luggage easily for traveling.
Question: This looks like the MeFoto (by Benro), but much cheaper. However, I'm wary of buying from "knock-off" brands. So, is this as good as the MeFoto
Answer: Newer makes stuff in all ranges of quality. I have stuff from them that has been fantastic,this being one of them and I wouldn’t call them a knock off co. Either. I’ve bought stuff that cost 3-4 less. So look at how often you need it and how you will use it. I’ve had this thing everywhere and watche my buddy struggle wit a high dollar one. I could buy 5 like mine for what he paid for his. You’ll see all kinds of stuff made by newer with different names on them. They are a rock solid company with super customer service and yeah, they make some inexpensive stuff for people who don’t have big bucks to buy the fancy crap so they can still reach it on a tight budget. I do a lot of Astro with this so some of my work requires heavy gear and this works great.
Question: Do you get 60x worth of zoom? And is it clear at high power
Answer: I did not consider the max zoom acceptable. I did not feel the image was clear. It required a tripod for any hope of focus at that distance; even then it was not clear. I returned the them for a refund.
Question: how are they for star gaze n planets
Answer: They are ok, a telescope would be better for star gazing & planets.
Question: Can you read a newspaper from 25 feet
Answer: Certainly not. The quality of the lenses were really poor on this model so I returned it.

User questions & answers

Question: Will this head hold a 200-500 lens or do I need a diffferent head
Answer: You may need a different, stronger head for this one.
Question: Can a manfrotto fluid head be attached to this
Answer: Yes
Question: Does this have a removable spiked feet option
Answer: No it doesn’t but it is one of the best travel tripods I have used.I am not a professional photographer I shoot has a hobby.
Question: I’d this weather resistant
Answer: It seems to be fairly weather resistant to me so far. Water beads off the finish easily. The two permanent legs are built so they won’t fill with rainwater. The monopod leg has a rubber seal ring built into the coupler to prevent rain from filling the tube. Screws & bolts have light anodized coating, might rust eventually if you leave it wet - Dry off your gear! I don’t believe the feet are absolutely water-tight, so I don’t know what will happen if you stand it in water. One side note for Astrophotographers: the feet do not have retractable metal spikes under the rubber pads. They’re just hard caps with a little tread, semipermanently attached to end of a bare tube. Feet are OK for faster shutter photography, but they jiggle a bit in the wind, which will effect your time lapse or Open Shutter long exposures.

Question: Too heavy? When using the center column at an angle, my Sony a7 w/ 55mm lens weighs it down
Answer: The center column is not meant to be used at an angle on this model. The only reason it pivots is to allow the center column to reverse and save some space with the head in between the legs when everything is folded down. If you want a tripod with a center column that you can use at an angle, try one of the Vanguard Alta Pro models which has this feature. I also use a Manfrotto 055 model which has a center column which works at an angle.
Question: Can the center column be reversed for low angle photography
Answer: Hello! Thank you for your question. The center column is removable and the tripod comes with a short column adapter for low angle photography.

User questions & answers

Question: does the peak deisgn standard plate work with the ballhead
Answer: The ball head it comes with is Arca Swiss. Now I use Manfrotto so I just unscrewed the Arca Swiss palate from the ball head stem and screwed a Manfrotto one in its place. I assume you can do the same thing with your type of plate.
Question: can you remove the bullhead and substitute one of your own
Answer: Yes.The ball head on our tripod can be replaced.Our tripod omes with a 3/8" bottom screw thread.So if your ball head has the matching screw,it can be used.
Question: Hi, will this hold a nikon d7200 with 55-300mm lens
Answer: I'm pretty sure you'll be fine. It holds my D810 with 70-200mm lens fine, I just weight the tripod to be on the safe side. It is a light weight tripod but solid construction.
Question: Will this head work with other plates like manafrotto
Answer: Yes but, ByBen F.on May 20, 2016Grip Type: Adapter|Verified PurchaseThis does not work properly as is. It requires a modification. The screw hole on the top of the connect adapter does not allow the screw head that goes into the stem of the ball head to counter sync and sit flush with the top of the connect adapter plate. It sticks up to high. This prevents the Quick release plate from being able to clip into place. The modification is not hard to do. I had to buy a counter sync drill bit ($8.00 at HomeDepot) and open up the top of the hole so that the screw would go down enough and the screw head would sit flush. For that reason I am only giving this 3 stars. Now it works perfectly. I am extremely surprised since this is an original Manfrotto product. You would think they would know their own products better.
