Kestrel Meters Compact Collapsible Lightweight Tripod 20.5 - 52" Black

The Kestrel Meters Compact Collapsible Lightweight Tripod 20.5–52" Black is a rugged, portable stand built for field professionals who need stable instrument support without the bulk. Whether you're mounting a Kestrel weather meter for precision meteorology, setting up a portable vane mount for wind readings, or running repeatable tests in the field, this tripod delivers the stability hunters, shooters, and outdoor engineers need—and it breaks down small enough to pack anywhere.

Built around a three-section leg design with flip-lever locks, the tripod extends from a compact 20.5 inches to a full 52 inches, giving you flexibility for seated, standing, or elevated measurements. Non-marring rubber feet protect whatever surface you're working on, whether that's delicate equipment, truck beds, or camp gear. At just 2.3 pounds, it's light enough to not think twice about carrying it into the field but solid enough to hold your meter steady in variable conditions.

The included adjustable clamp accommodates all Kestrel Meter models, so if you upgrade your instrument down the road, your tripod stays in the kit. The same clamp design works on Kestrel's dedicated mini tripod, ensuring compatibility across their ecosystem. If you're running a Kestrel Portable Vane Mount, simply remove the clamp and attach it directly—no need for a separate stand. A padded carry case keeps everything organized and protected during transport, so setup is genuinely grab-and-go.

This is the kind of gear that disappears into your routine because it just works: no fuss, no learning curve, ready to support accurate data collection whenever you need it.
