The Fatboy Tripods Traverse 2 Section Tripod is a purpose-built shooting tripod that combines lightweight carbon fiber construction with the stability serious hunters and long-range shooters demand. Designed to deploy quickly and stand rock-solid in the field, the Traverse handles everything from prairie dog towns to big-game setups without the weight penalty of traditional steel tripods. Its non-crossing three-leg design and 42.5mm tube diameter give you a wide, stable footprint that won't tip in wind or uneven terrain—and it's light enough that you'll actually carry it to the spot that matters.
Built from high-quality carbon fiber and aluminum, the Traverse balances durability with portability in a way that typical shooting sticks can't match. The 2-section leg design means fewer joints and faster adjustments when you're glassing a hillside or setting up for a shot. Wide locking tabs let you lock each leg at the height you need, whether you're prone on flat ground or working an incline. The integrated 47.5mm rubber feet have retractable spikes that bite into soft ground, grass, or snow while the rubber soles stay stable on rock or hard-packed earth.
This tripod arrives with a carry bag and is rated to handle 150 pounds, giving you plenty of capacity for a rifle and shooting bag, or a spotting scope setup. At roughly 5 pounds 10 ounces without the bowl, it's a serious tool that won't slow you down on a long day in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the Fatboy Traverse best used for?
The Traverse is purpose-built for long-range hunting, precision rifle shooting at the range, and field glassing with a spotting scope. Its stable three-leg design and 150-pound capacity make it ideal for shooters who want a tripod that won't shift or drift under recoil, or glassers who need steady optics for hours at a time.
How much does it weigh, and is it easy to carry?
The Traverse weighs 5 pounds 10 ounces without the bowl, making it light enough to pack for a full day in the field without becoming a burden. It comes with a carry bag designed to strap to your pack, and the collapsed height of 36.25 inches makes it easy to stow alongside other gear.
What surfaces can the feet handle?
The integrated 47.5mm rubber feet have retractable spikes that work on both soft ground (grass, dirt, snow) and hard surfaces (rock, pavement). The rubber soles grip hard ground while the spikes bite into soft terrain, giving you confidence that the tripod will stay put regardless of where you're hunting or shooting.
Does this tripod come with a ball head or shooting head?
The Traverse 2 Section Tripod includes the tripod and carry bag. The bowl (tripod head) is sold separately, allowing you to choose a head that matches your specific setup—whether that's a ballhead for a spotting scope, a pan-head for video, or a shooting tripod head for your rifle.
