As shown in product images, it has a lever which allows the centre column to tilt 0 to 180 but its not the case. That's a false image and is of a higher model 263 AB(with ball head). If this is intentional thing from sellers side please do rectify and mention that clearly; if its a goof up from amazon's end then they should see into it as soon as possible.Otherwise the product is very good and sturdy but a bit bulky at 2.5 kg. But vanguard should either decrease its price or should introduce tiltable centre column in this model as well, since for just 3000 INR another model 263 ab is available.
