4Wonderful Receiver but complicated
By Robert Kohler
I've had the RX-A2000 for about 3 months now. I initially had a setup issue getting the YPAO auto calibration to work properly. For some reason it couldn't calibrate the rear channel speakers - I have a 5.1 speaker setup. I finally called Yamaha, and after having a bad initial experience with their support tech (smarmy and rude), I called back and found that the placement of the supplied YPAO mic was critical. After some experimentation on placement, the cal was able to calibrate the system.I find the receiver to be stunningly open and clear. Some of the DSP settings are a little ginchy, but when using "Straight" mode, movies, music, and internet radio all sound clear, crisp, and deep.I don't like the remote particularly, it has a door at the keyboard that opens to expose another set of keys. I've always hated that approach. I use a Logitech Harmony One universal remote - although Logitech only supports the RX-A1000 in their database. That's close enough for most things.The manual, only supplied in PDF format (come on Yamaha - it's a $1500 receiver!), is terrible. There is no clear explanation of many of the surround features, DSP settings, and a host of other features that the unit has. I'm sure I'm missing out on some things, just because I don't know what the heck they do. I'm an electrical engineer, and am pretty savvy about most things electronic, but have to say again that the manual, almost 200 pages long, it simply bad.I would definitely recommend the unit.

4I love me Receiver
By Paul C
First off the product came in less then 3 days of me ordering.I was shocked how fast and pleased with the packaging.I am not one to understand the complete tech sides of their receivers but I know what was important to me.1) The HDMI's out.. I am using 5 and wanted more just in cass.2) The 3 Zones. I am using 2 and will use 3 over the next few months.3) The video/audio processing. Very happy.4) The Sound Quality. I am using very good Yamaha/Pro Center speakers (7 speakers and subwoofer) and I am just blown away how great everything sounds. From movies to music and even commercials.There are many programs (sound choices) to choose from like 2 channel, 7 channel, live(many formats), cathedral(many options) that will get the effect you desire. The decoding choices are really great too. I am a big PS3 player for Call of Duty and it was like a friggon war zone in my family room. When you get shot, you actually get a little scard because of the feeling you get with the sounds going on. It's pretty funny actually.My only complaint was I had a problem getting my speakers working for about 1/2 hour. I have no idea why. I think the sounds default was not setup to 7 channel and I only had like 3 speakers working at the time. Once I figured out how to get it to 7 channels using the program button I was good to go. I thought at first my wiring was all messed up.. Everything is great now.I love all the speaker configurations they provide as well as the testing and auto setup options.I just used my network cable and was able to see like 100 interest music channels which sound really good.The next step is trying to use the web browser to see what options I can do from there.My goal is really trying to get the most out of the product over the next few months to justify the cost.I paid $1400.Hope you enjoy the product as much as I have.

4Review from Gadget Lover - Non Audiophile and love it
By stlouisbrad
I'll keep this simple.. I bought this receiver to drive a new 3D home theatre I built. You have to have receiver that supports 3D HDMI (high speed or 1.4 version cables) so the Aventage series fits the bill nicely.After buying a non 3D Yamaha receiver on clearance from Amazon, then returning it, I bought the RX-A800. Then I sold it on eBay once I saw there were iPhone/iPad apps available to control Aventage models with a LAN port (RX-A1000, RX-A2000, RX-A3000). The RXA1000 is really all I needed, but I went for the RX-A2000 for the ability to drive an additional pair of speakers for a 9.2 experience. (Study the "power amp assign" options in the PDF). It takes a separate amplifier which I got from Amazon (Onkyo M-282 2-Channel Power Amplifier).Onkyo M-282 2-Channel Power AmplifierYou can download the HUGE PDF manual (you will get it on CD only in the box anyway). The RX-A2000 has a $400 "HQA" video chip for ANALOG source enhancement which I cannot see the difference on.If you are looking at Yamaha you need to learn about their "lingo". The Aventage series supports non standard (Yamaha only) speakers called "presence speakers" which really enhance the front sound stage. They allow you to "lift the dialog" of the center speaker so the voices seem to come from the "behind" the display. Presence speakers are wonderful for complex sound tracks (I could pinpoint the head hitting the windshield in Inception very precisely..).I spent about $2000 on a 9.1 speaker system from Definitive Technologies (Mythos and Mythos XBR for the Yamaha only presence digital signal processing (DSP as in imaginary computer generated sound). I HIGHLY recommend the Mythos if you can afford them.Just this week (July 13) Yamaha released a second iPad/iPhone app (AV Controller) which enhances the Aventage app shown in the description above.The RX-A2000 is a "2010" model. Yamaha also announced availability (in September 2011) of the 2011 replacement models (RX-A1010, RX-A2010, and RX-3010) . I don't see much difference. You should be able to get the RX-A2000 on clearance soon.I am an Apple fanboy and the GUI and control of the RX-A2000 model is clunky in comparison to an Apple product. An AppleTV makes a wonderful companion.If you want more info.. check out the AVSForum and search for the massive 150 page discussion on the RX-A1000, RX-A2000, and RX-A3000. It's audiophile talk to the extreme but you can learn a lot. Search for "official RX-A2000".

5Yamaha Continues to Improve the Breed
By E. Becker
My interest in Home Media originates from a musical background as a musician and avid listener.The RX-A3000 is my 6th Yamaha DSP A/V receiver since my first (DSP-E300) in 1990--having owned other A/V amps including the first ever Dolby Digital (AC3) compatible (Pioneer). Yamaha's major feature to me is the natural sound on all their DSP SoundFields. Most every other receiver listened to does Dolby and DTS movie surround sound decoding just fine, but if you are into listening to 2 channel music processed to sound like different venues such as The Roxy, The Bottom Line, various concert halls in Europe etc. nobody does it better than Yamaha. Other receivers have rather phony sounding processing using their proprietary chips.I think the key to the Yamaha is the original research and recording done back when they designed their first DSP unit the DSP-1 in 1986 or so. As a matter of fact, I liked the processing on my Yamaha DSP E-300 so much that I daisy chained it to later more state of the art A/V amps so that I could use it for music listening. Now with the RX-A3000 it has just about the same amount of concert venues as the E-300, plus a bunch of DSP Cinema Modes as well.Yamaha makes the optimization of your listening environment quite easy with their YPAO setup. It goes through a checklist of speaker connections and phase of each speaker. Then it sends out tones which are captured by a microphone to analyze the room acoustics and sets a variety of parameters, such as the speaker size, the distance of the speakers and even the sound pressure level. It also allows for what I'd call a "blended" setup whereby measurements can be taken and stored from more than one listening position so that the end result is not tailored to just one sweet spot in the room.The unit can be expanded to 11.2 channels with external amps, but an out of the box 7.2 setup is more than adequate for me (the RX-A3000 has outputs for 2 subwoofers which can be configured for Front/Rear, Front Mono, or Front Stereo).Since this is a Video as well as Audio device, it must be noted that there are no fewer than 8 (7 + 1 in front) HDMI 3D compatible inputs and 2 HDMI outs. A new OSD GUI can now overlay on HD sources, and after a little bit of practice becomes very intuitive and useful.The RX-V3000 has a new HQV Vida high-class video chipset, which has a myriad of adjustments if you want to tweak the picture (potentially more useful for SD DVD and analog video) or just let the signal pass through. I let the Yamaha upscale to 1080p, TiVo OTA/Netflix, SD DVDs, AppleTV, as well as OTA TV with stunning results. The receiver is the first piece of equipment in my eventual upgrade to full 3D, but in the interim, 2D Blu-ray, and HD DVD are an awesome experience due to its sound and state of the art circuitry.Indeed, the physical chassis has been beefed up in this series featuring a 5th foot for stability and vibration control, and H-shaped cross member frame with double bottom construction. With all its improvements Yamaha has seen fit to extend the OEM warranty from 2 to 3 years.The Yamaha iPod dock I've been using since the days of the RX-V2700 is compatible and the OSD has been improved greatly making it more of a pleasure to use compared to the old interface. The main improvement for me is the ability to scroll 10 pages at a time to find music, but it's too bad there's still no alpha/numeric search because I have over 13,000 songs.The unit can be controlled with an iPhone app, in addition to a regular web browser when the Yamaha is part of your LAN. And speaking of control, the remote is not exactly the best around with some of the more used buttons (for me) being buried under a hinged door. But if you happen to prefer a universal remote (my choice is the Logitech Harmony One), that's all moot. Yamaha is very good at disseminating their remote codes both the default and extended which have a lot of discrete ones not on the OEM remote (e.g. accessing a particular Classical Hall directly instead of toggling though the choices etc.).So if you're looking for an extremely versatile piece of equipment to be the heart and soul of your video experience, which can also bring immense musical enjoyment, I can't recommend this unit more highly.

5Immense Power, Clear Sound
By Jeffrey Noah
For those who want all the specifications, connection capacities and test details, see the euphoric Audioholics test report: http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/receivers/rx-a3000I bought the RXA3000 for stereo playback of classical, cultural and folk music. My decision was finalized by the RXA3000 capacity to bi-amp my Martin Logan Vista ES speakers.That arrangement delivers 236 WRMS at 4 Ohms x2 = 472 WRMS and more, below 4 ohms, into each speaker. (I promise not to crank the Saint-Saens Organ Symphony.)Surprisingly, all that power appears to offer transparent clarity and an inaudible noise floor to chamber groups and soloists. On many CDs, I can hear the performer breathing.Thanks to a helpful Yamaha technician, I finally deciphered the 155 page owners' manual. The secondary, tiny 10-function remote control offers effortless operation.I would have preferred a sexy front-plate on the Leviathan.The effortless power and clear sound entrances me with musical delights.Jeffrey Noah

5Worth every penny
By M. Reynolds
This is the third Yamaha receiver I have owned and it replaces the 6.1 channel receiver which is still an awesome receiver used for over 10 years. The only reason I retired it as the main receiver is the lack of HDMI connections since that was not a standard 10 years ago. You just can't go wrong with Yamaha receivers. They sound awesome, power great speakers without the need for pre/post amps, and can run at full volume without distortion assuming you like your ears bleeding and a pounding headache that follows. This particular receiver has a unique feature which is that it shows a digital image of a forest scene when you have selected an input that nothing is connected to. While this is certainly nicer than pitch black nothingness, it can be a concern for someone who is running an LCD or plasma screen that has not been burned in yet since static images like this can cause etching on some screens. While leaving the room, I simply turned off one of the appliances that was on the current input which resulted in the static forest scene appearing but I did not expect to be on the phone call which had me leave the room for the hour and a half it took. When I came back to the living room I immediately worried that this static image may have been burned into my plasma screen but I was lucky and it did not happen. I looked through the guide and clicked through the on screen control panel to see if there is away to turn off the static image but I did not find one. Other than noting this one tiny issue, the unit has lived up to and surpassed the expectations that previous Yamaha units have afforded me. I am running two subwoofers in opposing corners of the room and 2 center channel speakers, 2 front channel, 2 front channel surround, 2 rear channel, and 2 rear channel surround speakers for a simply awesome surround sound setup when watching movies that make use of all these channels. When watching standard TV like football it uses less channels but still enough to make it feel like you are there in the action. I am completely happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone who lacks a good receiver. Let's face it..sound is everything. I have a 65" 3D plasma TV and as pretty as it is, the surround sound is so much more important in terms of your overall movie watching experience that if I could only afford one purchase I would keep my old 32" analog tv and buy this Yamaha reciever. The sound immerses you in the action despite the size of your TV, but even if you have a beautiful large TV yet lack good surround sound, the experience of watching a movie is flat. Sound matters. The ability to plug in the microphone and then move it around during the setup of the receiver while it plays test patters so it can automatically configure the best sound fields for your viewing/listening environment is a definite plus for anyone who makes their living room into the entertainment room rather than having one specially built around that purpose. There are ample HDMI ports to run everything you could need, DVR, TV Receiver, XBOX 360, PS3, Blu-Ray Player, and more. The on screen display allows you to program your input selectors and other necessary items with ease and for me without reading the manual. I am completely satisfied with this purchase and expect the same long life of the other two receivers which are still in use 18 years later for the first and 11 years later for the second... what more can you ask for?

5VERY Professional and Thought-out. Tripod that does more than expected
By Kiyo M.
This is definitely not your ordinary tripod and the retail price isn't surprising. I'm a quite harsh rater, but I really am impressed with the quality and how innovative, versatile, and how very thought-out this product is. It easily deserves a 5 star and it's really no surprise that everyone else is giving it the same rating too.+ Legs can spread exactly at 25, 50, 80-degrees preset angles -- all you have to do is press a button on the leg and it'll stop each time to that degree.+ Dual locking quick release+ Anti-shock ring+ Pistol Grip allows easy 72-click 360 degree panoramic photographyI agree with the other reviewer about the pistol grip itself wouldn't be good for video panning, but I disagree that this tripod can't be used for video. For panning, you wouldn't use the pistol grip for that purpose because you can unlock the "Swivel Lock Knob" (described as letter 'E' in the manual) -- for the tripod -- and that will allow you to pan.There's so many features on this tripod that you can get really creative with it; I know it's intended purpose is for photography, but the fact that the central column on this tripod can tilt in a unique way, it can actually act as a mini-jib! Personally, I will use this tripod for video shooting as well.This tripod is just really thought-out from preventing damages to features to get all the types of angles you've ever wanted. Very impressed from the moment I opened it to hours after I learned all the features and the way to use it.

5A Great Tripod for All Your Photography Needs
By STSL
Solid, sturdy and very stable. The stability of this tripod and the pistol grip will save you a lot of time on aiming your object of interest and making sure it stay focused. A stone bag is included too so that you can hang it on the hook below the central column to add more weight for further stability. Once you've locked your camera at something, it wouldn't slide away slowly like those cheaper tripod do. Very useful for extreme macro or telephoto shots as every micro movement matter.The multi-angle and flexibilty of the central column, legs plus pistol grip can be set up at every imaginable and odd positions you can think of. Reaching the unreachable with ease.Besides the versatility, the weight of the tripod is one of the factor which made me buy this. It weighs at only 2kg and the pistol grip at 635g. To me, it is light taking into consideration of the features and price range. Back to back, it is only about 300g-500g difference from the carbon fibre version. And much lighter than many of its competitor in the same category. Can be carried around for outdoor photography with the included tripod bag, if the 2kg weight is not a problem to you.I myself like some of the reviewers, have used this for video shooting and it works fine. But you'll need to have a strong wrist as the gripping of the pistol head will require some strength. Not recommended for people with wrist problems.All in all, it is a very well made tripod right down to the smallest detail and very user friendly. Easy to setup, quick release is efficient and no sharp parts that might cut your hands. If you are thinking of upgrading or buying a new tripod, get this stylish looking tripod. You won't regret it!

5Excellent tripod/grip combo!
By I. R. Smart.
The Vanguard Alta Pro 263AT with GH-100 Pistol Grip Ball Head (seriously, that's a mouthful) is an excellent tripod/grip for the prosumer entry range. It's definitely not the lightest tripod out there, but for the money this is a decent weight, and I found excellent built quality throughout. The tripod is easily assembled/disassembled, and the "buttons" for allowing the legs to lie flat are easily released. The GH-100 Pistol Grip Ball Head worked really well, has an easy-release switch for your camera (in my case, a 5D MKII), and my camera felt very secure on it with my 24-105L lens attached.That said, I don't recommend the grip for video, since it's a little too unlock->move->lock (i.e. not smooth enough for a pan), but for general photography it's excellent.The tripod came with a decent bag, but for more slamming-around protection you might want something heavier duty (which would add to the weight, of course!).The bundle came well packaged, with the grip in its own box inside the tripod box. I really enjoyed using this tripod, and highly recommend it for those needing a decent tripod/grip!5 stars out of 5!

5My First Impression - Alta Pro 264AT w SBH100 Head
By A. CARLOS
First impression is that the tripod and the sbh-100 ballhead are solid. Yes, the legs are a bit challenging to swing and the sections kind of hard to pull out, but that's actually a good thing. Remember that sections that slide easily can also collapse easily. The O-ring on the column is also a cool feature to absorb any accidental release shock to your equipment. A key set is also provided to tighten the legs and the ball head link.There is some play on the tripod/ballhead, but you just need to tighten the column and the quick release plate on the head and it's tight again. I actually like that double security feature on the plate. The tripod/ballhead were actually bigger than I expected, with thick padded legs and a strong core. And it comes with two plates! Keep in mind that the ballhead is a full-range ballhead so you may have to work on leveling your camera.You may have to play with loosening the buttons on the legs to get the multiple leg angles and the rotating/collapsible column is definitely a plus. Overall, it's a beautiful tripod that weighs just right for my equipment. I have a D7000 and my heaviest lens is a Nikon 18-200, looks and feels solid with it. I imagine attaching my flash wouldn't be an additional hassle on the tripod.The case fits the tripod with head almost right, but you need to put the head-plate sideways to shorten the tripod. If the case was only an inch or so longer, would have been perfect to close all the way with the pull cords. But I think the case was designed to hold only the tripod with no head. It also comes with a stone bag, but the tripod is so solid, you probably won't ever need it. Besides, there's a hook on the column if you really want to weight it down.This is just my first impression after playing with my new toy yesterday. I'll have another review after a few months of use. And by the way, stop researching and just buy the damn thing.

4Great Tripod !!!
By R. Banga
I am using this tripod for almost a month now and I am very happy with my purchase. Quality of the product is very good. Because of the 4 section legs, it's pretty compact and easy to carry around. I gave 4 stars because I think it's little heavy, but over all, I am very happy with the tripod and I think this is the best tripod in around $200 range.

I had been looking for some time to find a good, solid tripod with the features of the Vanguard 264 ball head. This was a great choice, at a very good price. There have been no issues with quality of construction or performance. Great for landscape photography. Would do it all over again!

5Sturdy and well constructed, head works very well, even with telephoto.
By Two kids mom
First of all, some info from the product specs not listed on Amazon.Alta Pro 283CTExtended height 1700 mm (66 7/8ths) inchesFolded height 640mm (25 ¼ inches)Weight 1.7 kg (3.75 lbs)Max loading weight 8.0 kg, 18.0 lbsMax loading when tilting 7kg, 14.5 lbsSBH-100 Tilt 90 degreesSwivel 360 degreesMax loading weight 10kg, 22 lbsWeight 450g 15.9 ozHeight 105mm 4 1/8 inchesThe actual measured weight of the tripod and head in the included case is 72 ounces and just shy of 30 inches (in the case).The absolutely most important thing about a tripod is that it be rigid and strong. This one is very much so. For further stability a weight can be hung from the center column, in order to counterweight the camera and lens. However at 8 kilos, you would have to have an 800mm lens (like the ones you see photographers in sports events using) to even approach the limit. I could practically mount my telescope on this thing.My previous experience with ball and socket heads had lead me to distrust them as I always had trouble adjusting the tension so that I could move the camera, but it would not fall over if I let go. That is not true for this head the camera (a digital Canon Rebel with a telephoto lens (75-300mm) was easily moved but stayed upright if released. The tension is easily adjusted and the head feels solid and well made and has an easy to remove screw mechanism for attaching to the camera. Noticeable difference from using a pan tilt head, when using to shoot soccer players, I was easily able to keep up with the movement across the field.The legs use collar locks (twist to unlock or lock). Personally I do prefer lever locks as they are faster to adjust but collar locks are actually better in the long run as they are less likely to break and are actually less stable.This tripod is sturdy enough that the engineers did not have to include cross bracing which limits the extension of the legs and consequently how low to the ground the tripod can go. This model has three preset angles (25, 50 and 80 degrees). At 80 degrees you can get the camera very close to the ground for close up shots. Each leg can be adjusted individually, which is great when the ground is not flat.Multiple built in levels are included which make leveling the camera and tripod easy.Last of all the spikes in the legs are easily covered or exposed, just by twisting the bottom, much better than having to remove and replace them.It comes with a little tool that has an allen wrench (for adjusting the tension on the center column) and a screwdriver type tool for removing the protective cap over the camera mounting screw).Overall a great tripod for the serious amateur photographer and I suspect a good choice for professionals as well. My one question would be the price/value point, since I have not used multiple carbon fiber tripods I cannot offer an opinion on that point.

5Function & Durability
By Lyssa Seefeldt
Update: 6/15/12As an FYI for anyone that has purchased or is planning on purchasing a Vanguard product... there is a $50 mail-in rebate available if you purchase your carbon fiber tripod in the month of May or June 2012, with the rebate needing to be postmarked by July 31st. See the link in my comments section to get the rebate form.As an advanced amateur photographer, trying to find a tripod that you won't outgrow but can still afford can be a challenge. The Vanguard Alta Pro 283CT carbon fiber tripod with SBH-100 ball head is priced right around $300 if you catch a sale. For me, that was the upper end of my budget, but was worth every penny. Not only do you get a height of 66 7/8th inches (~5 ft 6in), the legs adjust to angles suited for low level photography (80, 50, 25 degrees). This partnered with a central column that not only adjusts vertically, but also horizontally to act as an arm to get you camera equipment tight to where you are shooting makes this tripod one of the best that I have seen on the market for the price. The SBH-100 ball head is an added bonus with fluid movement, easy to use knobs to adjust the tension and angle of the head.Overall this tripod is easy to use and quite intuitive on how to adjust everything once you spend about 5 minutes playing with the knobs to see what they adjust. Some reviews state that this tripod is a bit heavy for a carbon fiber due to the magnesium alloy used in the central column. That may be true, however, I believe that the extra weight adds stability and durability to an already brilliantly designed tripod. In case you encounter one of those breezy days, the tripod set-up also includes a weight bag that attaches to the legs to add additional stability.This tripod also comes highly recommended from professional wildlife photographers due to the durability and functionality presented in this model of tripod. What one photographer told me is that you don't want to waste your money on an "okay" tripod because you will never use it and you will just end up buying a better one in the long run. So save your money and buy a tripod that you won't outgrow-like the Vanguard Alta Pro 283CT carbon fiber tripod with SBH-100 ball head. As an SLR photographer the last thing that you want to do is be without a GOOD tripod for that perfect shot!

5Strong, Stable, Light Weight
By Daniel G. Lebryk
This is an incredibly sturdy, lightweight, stable, and versatile tripod.This kit includes the tripod, a carrying bag, a detachable gear pouch / counter weight, a multi-tool key, an SBH-50 ball head, and a second quick release plate.The tripod itself is pretty darn amazing. I've used Manfrotto and Bogen tripods, none were as light weight or as stable as this tripod. The carbon fiber legs make this a very light weight tripod. Usually light weight translates into tippy, and unstable; not this tripod. I was able to lean very hard into the top post and this tripod remained rock solid - it never budged. There are two leg extensions that release and tighten with a quarter turn. The legs slide in and out of each other smoothly, the finish on the carbon fiber is super smooth. When locking the leg in position, the quarter turn stops firmly when the leg is locked, there's no second guessing.The center post is a miracle. The post glides up and down smoothly, there is a big rubber O-Ring under the tripod head to help dampen a sudden release of the center column. There is a unique flipping attachment at the center post. Pull the center post all the way up, flip an orange lever and the post can now flip almost 180 degrees. With this arrangement it is possible to quickly and easily position a camera within inches of the ground.There is some kind of damping built into the rotation of the center post. It isn't exactly a fluid drive, but it feels a lot like it. This is super smooth rotation; there is no grabbing when starting the rotation. Although this is not really a video tripod; in a pinch, that smooth rotation could be used for panning.I like the design of the tripod head mount. The multi-tool key has a two point tool for removing and tightening down the adapters for 1/4 or 3/8 inch screw mounts. There is a wonderful storage spot on the head for the adapter not in use. The tripod head is not only secured with the standard 1/4 inch screw, there are three hex set screws that virtually bolt the head to the tripod. Once attached, the head cannot twist off. The multi-tool kit also contains the correct Allen wrench.There is a small bull's eye bubble level on top of the leg mount.The legs can be adjusted from a standard 25 degree spread, to 50 and 80 degree spreads. The 80 degree spread gets the tripod low to the ground and is incredibly stable. I'm not a huge fan of the release buttons for changing the leg angle. There isn't a solid click when the leg is locked at a particular angle. I prefer the old school metal spring loaded clip of my Bogen tripod.The weakest link in this tripod is the SBH-50 head. It is a small ball head with a simple quick release mount. The base is very nice, with 360 degree markings to help visualize rotation. The release knobs are well designed; they are large and covered with a rubber grip that makes turning them very easy. The quick release is excellent, the screw knob tightens down the mount, and a red button has to be pushed to release the head. It's a very good design. The problem I have with this head, it just doesn't lock tightly. Everything about this tripod is sturdy, stable, and rock solid. When I lock the ball head as tight as I can, I can still manage to move the head with my hand and pushing on the top. A heavy 300mm f 2.8 lens would not be a very good idea on this particular head (the tripod can handle it; it's just this small ball head). The other problem is the bubble levels. There is one at the rear and another on the side. The rear level is impossible to see from up above. So it's impossible to actually level the head perfectly with those two levels for panning.The carrying bag is cheap junk. That's kind of sad in a way, this is a moderately expensive tripod, and the carrying bag could be a bit nicer. No matter, I've found some very nice padded bags from Calumet Photo that are not very expensive.The accessory pouch or counter weight bag is also really cheap. I'm not sure I'd trust putting expensive items in that thing. It also doesn't look like it would hold much weight. The center post has a hook for hanging counter weights.I really dislike the instruction sheets. They are many pages of drawings with letters. Many pages later is the text describing the letters and the captions for each drawing. The instructions are in 13 different languages, making it almost impossible to understand the pictures.Overall this is an amazing strong light weight tripod. The ball head is decent. Since the tripod is so solid, it wouldn't be hard to add a better head. As a kit, this is a really good deal.

5Impulse buy, but really needed it...
By Scott C Tobin
Bought this during a lightning sale for for about 2 Ben Franklins. I've been using an aluminum Amvona tripod with a pistol grip. Both knockoffs, but they really did serve me well, took abuse. My major issues with that setup was the leg clamps were wearing out and because the pistol grip ballhead has so much space between the ball and the clamp it struggled supporting my Nikon D300 with heavier lenses. It would sag and generally frustrate me.So to the Vanguard Alta....So far I have only used the rig a few times being winter out here in PA. I am very pleased thus far. The rig has great flexibility with the positionable center column. So much more then a simple adjustable center column. My last outing was in about 20 degrees and the Vanguard did amazing. The Carbon Fiber was considerably lighter then my old aluminum. Additionally the ball head held my Nikon 17-55 2.8 and the D300 at any odd angle with no issues. I made it a point to use the multi angle center column in any way I could just to see how it would support my rig. It was a test of both the column itself and the ballhead. Both passed even with the center extended, again at odd angles. Also important to note much of the strain on the BallHead came from using the camera in portrait orientation putting all the weight to the side if you follow what I mean. i actually could have alleviated this 'portrait' stress to the BallHead by angling the multi angle center column differently, however, doing that would not have been a test to put my mind at ease for when out in the field. I extended the legs out which worked to stabilize the tripod with being so heavily side loaded. Another option to stabilize would have been to use the included rock/weight shelf that clips between the tripods legs. I generally use it to drop remotes, smokes, etc quickly as a holding area. Super handy in muddy areas or in the water. Understand although I love my gear, I use it like a tool. I have no problem setting up in the middle of a flowing creek, river or on a rock ledge.Although I have seen the included SBH-50 handle my rig so far, I would like a heavier ballhead. I feel what I did was pushing it and doubt, although maybe I'm wrong, it would hold my D300 and 70-200 2.8...That's my heaviest, but even so I always could use the multi angle center to allieviate stress on the Ballhead.Overall I am very very pleased. The quality is really noticeable from the smooth twist locks on the legs to the outstanding multi angle center column.For 2 bills it is an absolute no brainer and for 3 bills I'd still buy it again without hesitation.Regards,Scott

5Excellent Tripod
By KT Kannan
I was looking for a tripod that I can use for taking dance photography. The customer reviews for this tripod and the ball head were very good and so went ahead and bought it. Indeed it is an excellent tripod. I had already used it for few events. It is very light but stable even with the weight of a Canon 7D and 70-200mm IS lens. I can flip the camera from vertical to horizontal so quickly using the ball head and won't miss the moment to capture. Worth the moeny!!!

5Very simple and it works extremely well!
By H. Peppercorn
I purchased this system for use in a health-care related business in Ohio. I work in the IS department and we have stand-up meetings twice a week. The department has grown and it was becoming increasingly difficult to hear the person speaking and needed an amplified microphone/speaker system.I searched Amazon and found the Hisonic HS321. It comes with a wireless, hand-held microphone. The system is extremely easy to use. You turn on the main unit, hand-held microphone and adjust the volume... that's it. No wires, no expert A/V person needed. (The main unit is battery operated too - rechargeable battery.) We tested it at great distances as well and could not get anything but clear audio from the speaker. The speaker volume can be adjusted to a level much higher than needed for our office area. We then tested it in an open (noisy) 3-story atrium and it performed very well. Previously when listening to someone speak in our atrium, we would set up a two-speaker, Fender PA system. The speakers are mounted on tripods and the Fender system does a great job as you would expect. But we tried the Hisonic system and everyone was able to hear perfectly. It is so much easier to break out the portable Hisonic system. It has a rechargeable battery so we don't even need to plug it in to use it. I charged the system overnight just after receiving it. Since then, I have used the system eight times and the battery is still going strong. (I do intend to keep it charged regularly.) Now other parts of our business are requesting to use the unit.Recently, I ordered a wireless lapel microphone to use with the unit and I actually purchased the wrong item. I wanted a microphone that worked directly with the unit like the wireless handheld microphone that it came with. Instead I ordered a lapel microphone that has a receiver unit that would then be plugged into the Hisonic. (By the way, the Hisonic has several auxillary inputs to be used with a wired microphone or other wired audio devices.) I didn't like the additional base unit that needed plugged into the Hisonic. I e-mailed Kaito Electronics about returning the microphone and I received an e-mail less than an hour later! They offered to take the item back. They explained I could buy a wireless lapel microphone that works directly with the Hisonic... all I would have to do is give them the assigned frequency number on the main unit. I have since ordered this microphone and decided to keep the other unit since it could be used at the same time.I am VERY pleased with the product AND the company. The PA system is great. The customer service is superb. I purchase a lot of electronics on Amazon from many different vendors and have never had such a great experience as this. I will not hesitate to purchase anything in the future form this company.

5High quality
By Melissa
Got this for my dad for Christmas. He takes photography courses and likes to shoot for fun. This was a perfect solution. Got as a Gold Box deal on Amazon and got a great deal. I am extremely pleased with the purchase. It is high quality, sturdy, has several mounting areas for the camera. It has the ability to do low-pro shooting. Absolutely great.
