Fatboy Tripods Elevate 2 Section Tripod
The Fatboy Tripods Elevate 2 Section Tripod is a purpose-built shooting tripod designed for hunters, long-range shooters, and field sportsmen who need rock-solid stability without the weight penalty. Built from a hybrid of carbon fiber and aluminum, this tripod delivers the durability you need for serious field use while staying light enough to pack to your hunting spot or shooting location. The inverted leg design with three non-crossing extendable legs gets you set up fast, so you can focus on the shot instead of fiddling with gear.
The 42.5mm tube diameter and solid construction mean the Elevate handles the recoil and movement that comes with precision rifle work. Whether you're glassing from a ridge, steadying a rifle for a long-range practice session, or setting up a spotting scope to watch impacts, this tripod is engineered to stay planted. The wide leg locks and integrated spike feet with rubber pads give you confidence on everything from hard ground to soft terrain—spikes dig in where you need them, and rubber protects delicate surfaces when they're not needed.
Deployment is straightforward: the locking tabs on each leg let you extend and lock them down with one smooth motion, and the compact collapsed footprint makes transport and storage practical. Everything you need comes in the box—tripod and dedicated tripod bag—so you're ready to go out of the gate. At under 6 pounds, the Elevate won't turn into a liability on a long hunt or a multi-day trip, but the 150-pound weight rating means it'll handle your rifle, scope, and spotting gear without question.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifles and optics will this tripod support?
The Elevate is rated to handle 150 pounds total load, so it'll support any rifle and scope combination you'll take to the field or range, including heavy magnified optics and spotting scopes. The 42.5mm tube diameter is engineered for the recoil forces from centerfire rifle fire without wobble or instability.
How stable is it on uneven terrain?
The three-leg design and integrated spike feet are built to adapt to varied ground. The spikes bite into soft soil and turf to lock the tripod in place, while the rubber pads protect harder surfaces and provide grip on rock or hard-packed ground. You adjust the legs independently, so you can level the head even on sloped terrain.
How quickly can I set this up in the field?
The inverted three-leg design and wide locking tabs are engineered for fast deployment. Once you spread the legs to your desired stance, the locks hold them in place securely—no time wasted fumbling with clips or complicated adjustments.
What's in the box?
You get the Elevate tripod and a dedicated tripod bag. The bag makes transport easy whether you're hiking to your stand or loading up for a range day. Note that the tripod bag is sized for the tripod only; any ball head or mounting gear is sold separately.
