I’ve only owned two tripods my entire life and even though I use one for almost every shoot, each has somehow surpassed its life expectancy. These two weren’t raised in a bad neighborhood but after I’m done with them they wish they had. Needless to say I treat my tools as such and they get worn. Enter my third tripod, the Vanguard Abeo Pro 283CGH kit.
I’ve been interested in a pistol grip styled tripod head for awhile because of its perceived convenience. In theory the grip would also solve my biggest problem with tripods, difficulty using them in the cold. Unfortunately I didn’t make it to the snow for this trip but I did put it through some work.
