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.** A: 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?** A: 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. **Q: How high does the tripod extend in its maximum setting?** A: Max height is 70" ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Wonder Pro Tripod with a good stability *by J***C on 28 November 2025* Amazing Tripod for such a wonderful price. Only drawback is it's bit heavy (about 2.6 KG) for those who carry it often. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by H***Y on 28 December 2023* excellent product. You can buy with confidence. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by G***Y on 28 February 2017* Oh boy... this tripod is excellent. So worth the money. Stable, with a sandbag hook on the bottom of the main rod for extra stability if need be. Strong legs. Many easy to adjust options. I didn't think I'd need both adjustable arms, but it's wonderful. The quick release plate is a little small, but very easy to remove and snaps back when put it back. So cool. For a low budget tripod, this one (and this company in general, I would say) is top notch. The 45 degree angle option is fantastic and a contributing factor as to why I got it. Once adjusted, which is very easy to do, it is super stable and smooth. The panning is also very smooth and there are many panning options. I'm going to get a motorized panning mount because I like y pans to be super slow, but this one is very smooth and has very nice, soft resistance for medium slow panning. If you're in the market, don't hesitate. You won't be disappointed. Thanks Vanguard, and Amazon for the great deal! ## Frequently Bought Together - Vanguard Alta Pro 263AP Aluminum Tripod with PH-32 Panhead for Sony, Nikon, Canon DSLR Cameras Black - SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-I Memory Card - C10, U3, V30, 4K UHD, SD Card - SDSDXXD-128G-GN4IN --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/259012399-alta-pro-263ap-aluminum-tripod-with-ph-32-panhead-sony](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/259012399-alta-pro-263ap-aluminum-tripod-with-ph-32-panhead-sony) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
