This is the tripod you want to take when you know it’s going to be gnarly! It’s as light as it gets – minimizing weight and maximizing stability without the center column. The little ball head gets the job done with binoculars and spotters up to 65 mm. It’s a sheep hunter’s dream! There is an accessory “center column” with 2 sections that’s included with the kit. The accessory column can be screwed onto the tripod platform to extend the maximum height capability by almost 12″.
