Zeiss Optics Pro Series Tripod Max-Duty V Kit

The Zeiss Optics Pro Series Tripod Max-Duty V Kit is purpose-built for shooters who refuse to compromise on stability when it matters most. Whether you're dialing in a competition rifle, glassing for game, or setting up a precision shooting platform, this carbon-fiber tripod delivers the rock-solid foundation you need. It ships complete with the V-60 ballhead, carrying bag, and accessories—everything ready to deploy on the range or in the field.

Built with 10-layer carbon-fiber legs that taper from 36mm at the top through 40mm to a substantial 44mm at the base, the Max-Duty tripod achieves exceptional rigidity without excess weight. The three-section leg design folds to 39.8 inches for transport but extends to 82.7 inches for commanding sight lines. Twist-lock leg segments and a removable center column let you adjust height and angle quickly—no fumbling with standard leg locks when you're setting up. The open-apex head mount accepts different ballhead options, so you can swap in gear as your needs evolve.

The included V-60 ballhead tilts up to 115 degrees and lets you dial in resistance to match your rig's weight and your preference for smooth versus locked-down tracking. The Arca-Swiss top and 3/8-inch threaded secondary mount cover most rifle scopes, spotting scopes, and other optics. A rubberized balance plate, spiked feet, and flat-surface adapters give you solid footing on dirt, rock, or gym floors. At 12.1 pounds fully assembled and rated for 66 pounds of working load, it's built to handle real use without babying it.

This is serious gear for shooters who understand that every tenth of an inch in stability translates to tighter groups and better decisions downrange. Zeiss backs it with a 10-year warranty upon registration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in the Zeiss Max-Duty tripod kit?

The kit comes complete with the Max-Duty tripod body, V-60 ballhead, padded carry bag with shoulder strap, spiked feet, flat-surface adapter plate, extended adapter plate with 3/8-inch stud, a tool for center-column assembly, and a quick-start guide. You have everything you need to start shooting without additional purchases.

Will this tripod work with my rifle scope or spotting scope?

The V-60 ballhead features both Arca-Swiss mounting and a 3/8-inch threaded connection, covering most modern rifle scopes, spotting scopes, and other optics. If your scope or device uses one of these standards, it will mount securely. Check your optic's top mounting system to confirm compatibility.

How stable is the Max-Duty tripod for precision rifle shooting?

The tripod's 10-layer carbon-fiber legs are tapered from 36mm to 44mm at the base—Zeiss's largest diameter section—and support up to 66 pounds. The three-section design with multiple leg-angle positions (24°, 55°, 85°) lets you dial in a low, wide stance for maximum stability on the bench or prone. The removable center column and twist-lock segments allow fast micro-adjustments without disturbing your zero.

Can I swap the ballhead for a different model?

Yes. The open-apex design on the tripod head allows you to remove the included V-60 ballhead and mount other compatible heads for maximum versatility as your shooting needs change.
