Fatboy Tripods Levitate Level Head
The Fatboy Tripods Levitate level head is a precision ball mount built for shooters who demand rock-solid stability and quick adjustability in the field. Whether you're dialing in at the range, hunting from a tripod, or running a precision rifle setup, this level head pairs a 65mm ball with a patent-pending tension system that lets you dial in exactly the resistance you need—no guessing, no over-torquing. The adjustable tension stem and thick rubber knob give you tactile control and let you use it as a counterweight to balance your rifle naturally.
The Levitate is built for versatility. Its top plate accepts both Picatinny and Arca mounting systems, so it works seamlessly whether your rifle or accessory uses one standard or the other. The quick-release lever locks your firearm down fast and releases it just as quickly—invaluable when you're moving between positions or transitioning targets. Fifteen degrees of motion in any direction means you're not fighting the head to make your shot; you're working with it, making micro-adjustments smooth and intuitive.
Ease of use doesn't get sacrificed for capability here. The 5-handle tensioning lever unlocks and locks in seconds, letting you adjust on the fly as conditions change—wind shifts, angle changes, or when you need a looser feel for glassing. A stowaway tension wrench is included for fine-tuning, and the Levitate fits all standard 70mm tripod bowls, so integration into your existing setup is straightforward. This is the kind of gear that disappears into your workflow because it just works.
