The Shadowtech Carbon Fiber Shooting Tripod is a lightweight, compact platform built for hunters, shooters, and field glassers who need stability without the weight penalty. Built around carbon fiber construction, this tripod delivers the rigidity needed for accurate shooting and steady glassing across a range of hunting and tactical scenarios. At just 3.6 lbs, it's engineered for backcountry hunters and overlanders where every ounce counts—yet it handles a full 24 lbs load capacity, enough for spotting scopes, thermal optics, and other field gear.
The design prioritizes versatility in the field. Four-section carbon fiber legs (8 layers deep) collapse to a compact 8-inch minimum height, letting you get into a true prone shooting position in open country or confined terrain. Max out at 53.5 inches for standing glass or elevated vantage points. The short, fully rotating center column—turning a complete 360 degrees—works directly with HOG or PIG saddles for hands-free mounting, or accepts standard ball heads. Interchangeable rubber and spiked feet (spikes included) adapt to rock, grass, or loose terrain, and a removable load-bearing hook at the base lets you hang a pack or gear for added stability in windy conditions.
The aluminum body keeps moving parts secure while the carbon fiber legs handle the structural load. Adjustable cam levers on each leg lock out fast and hold tight under recoil or glass pressure. Finished in flat OD Green, it blends into field work and blends out of camp. Whether you're setting up for a long glassing session, waiting out a ridge, or building a solid rest for precision shooting, this tripod handles the job without dragging you down.
