Vivitar VPT3662 62-Inch Tripod (Black)

Vivitar VPT3662 62-Inch Professional Video & Photo Tripod (Black)
Stable, Smooth, and Highly Adaptable Three-Way Support Platform
The Vivitar VPT3662 62-Inch Tripod is a highly versatile, full-sized support platform designed to provide rock-solid stability for entry-level DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, action cams, and lightweight video camcorders. Reaching a maximum extended height of 62 inches, this multi-purpose tripod serves as an essential tool for framing panoramic landscapes, sharp family portraits, stable runtime vlogs, and crisp low-light time-lapses.

Combining lightweight aluminum construction with an ultra-smooth 3-way pan/tilt fluid-effect head, the VPT3662 ensures seamless composition tracking and dependable handling for indoor studio shoots and outdoor travel adventures alike.

Three-Way Pan/Tilt Head & Rapid Quick-Release Alignment
Smooth Three-Way Articulating Head: Features an independent 3-way pan and tilt head that allows you to adjust your camera’s positioning along three distinct axes. Execute fluid 360-degree horizontal panning shots or track vertical tilts seamlessly using the integrated panning handle.

90-Degree Vertical Tilt Platform: The camera mounting platform flips sideways up to 90 degrees instantly, allowing you to alternate between standard horizontal landscape orientation and vertical portrait framing for smartphone-optimized social content.

Quick-Release Mounting Plate: Outfitted with a removable quick-release plate equipped with a standard 1/4″-20 mounting screw. Pop your camera on and off the tripod head in seconds, enabling a rapid transition from stable stationary shooting to dynamic handheld tracking.

Dual Bubble Level Indicators: Built-in bubble alignment levels—located on both the main tripod chassis and the pan head—provide a quick, visible check to ensure your camera remains perfectly level against uneven outdoor terrain.

Geared Center Column & Robust Aluminum Leg Sections
Precision Geared Center Column: Features a crank-driven, geared central column that lets you micro-adjust your camera’s height smoothly without losing your composition alignment. A dedicated column locking knob keeps your setup firmly fixed at the desired height.

3-Section Aluminum Leg Extenders: Constructed with high-tensile aluminum leg tubes that balance optimal rigidity with a lightweight physical footprint. The legs deploy rapidly using heavy-duty, flip-style locking levers that snap firmly into place.

Mid-Level Leg Spreader Brace: Incorporates a central, locking mid-level leg brace assembly that forces all three legs to angle out symmetrically, drastically increasing structural stability and twisting resistance under windy outdoor conditions.

Swiveling Rubber Traction Feet: Outfitted with self-leveling, swiveling rubber feet at the base of each leg. These textured feet automatically adapt to the slope of the ground, ensuring a non-slip grip on slick studio floors or loose dirt paths.

Portable Travel-Ready Footprint & Ergonimic Carry Handle
Integrated Physical Transport Handle: Features a built-in, molded carrying handle integrated directly onto the main tripod collar, allowing you to comfortably reposition your fully assembled camera rig across a studio room or outdoor location.

Compact Collapsible Profile: Collapses down to a highly portable fraction of its extended height, making it an easy companion to strap onto a camera backpack or slide into a travel gear trunk.

Heavy-Duty Weighted Accessory Hook: Includes a physical utility hook at the base of the center column, allowing you to hang a gear bag or extra counterweight to lower the tripod’s center of gravity and boost wind resistance during inclement field conditions.
