This is a great do

This is a great do everything tripod. Light enough to back into the back country and stable enough to shoot off and glass with the 20-60 Diamondback HD spotting scope. So long as you remember it's not the ultimate shooting tripod or ultralight minimal tripod you will not be disappointed. It's perfect for the person who doesn't have the budget for single use tripods but still has multiple needs. If you're on the fence, go for it. I love the height adjustment it brings to the table

lightweight and super stable tripod.

lightweight and super stable tripod. using it with vortex viper 15x50 binoculars to spot Coues Whitetail deer in Southern Arizona. Helped to seal the deal on a nice buck this past deer season. sets up quickly and even has enough height that I can stand and glass with it (I'm 6' 1").

I have used this tripod

I have used this tripod for a spotting scope, camera, and as a rest for my rifle. It has held up to all of these use case and already traveled across the country with me. I highly recommend this product due to its weight, size, and versatility. it is also easy to use for anyone from a beginner to a expert photography, Hunter, or all around outdoorsman.

Rock-solid tripod

Going cheap while doing "light" doesn't work for me. I like a tripod that is stable so I don't have to keep moving the spotting scope because the tripod head doesn't do a good job; I appreciate a tripod that is so light, the heavier spotting scope doesn't rock in the wind. I like this tripod. Pricey, but it works for me. YMMV.

Great Light weight

This great especially if your mainly using it from a vehicle. Has a lot of adjustment and that allows it to become very stable. very happy with my purchase.

Super rugged and light weight.

Super rugged and light weight. I've used it on numerous hunts. I mainly use it for glassing. I can either sit and glass for hours, or extend it fully and glass from a standing position. The mount also allows for anyone with a ARCA rain to shoot from this bipod.

I will echo what Rick said about the perfect tripod

I read Rick's review and I totally agree with what he said. That's what I was going to say. I love this tripod and have zero regrets I like it much more than the four section tripods and if you don't like the pan head that comes on it you can always take that off and add a different ball head.

Great tripod; but poor head mechanics.

The tripod is excellent; non-reflective, light, strong & easy to carry and operate. Unfortunately, the head is poorly designed; mainly because loosening the pan wand also causes the objective end to drop. So, horizontal panning is terribly unstable. This awesome tripod would rate a 10 score if it had a much better head that it deserves.

Good tripod but weak head

Tripod is light and sturdy, the head could be better. Use it with a spotting scope. After locking the head on target, it will always sag a bit more resulting in loosing the target at distance. Must put deer (target) in top center edge of view. Then tighten the head.. hopefully this will get deer in center bottom of view after the head saggs. Other than that construction is good.

Outstanding Tripod

I have used it for both spotting and shooting, it has been great to use, if it were a little shorter when folded that would be nice, but it is a tradeoff I'm completely willing to make

Perfect middle ground

I wanted to find a lightweight tripod that could reach over 6 feet and be able to hold hy rifle. This one knocked it out of the park on all accounts. The ability to quickly transfer from glossing to shooting is amazing and the fact you can use it in the prone makes it that much better! It does collapse down small enough to fit on the outside of my pack without getting in the way. I highly recommend this tripod to anyone

A very solid and well made tripod.

Make your photography and videography sessions more versatile and stable with the Ridgeview 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod. Engineered to elevate your shooting experience, this tripod boasts a robust 22 lbs. maximum load capacity, making it an ideal support for large binoculars and hefty spotting scopes. The carbon fiber leg construction strikes an impeccable balance between strength and a lightweight build, ensuring easy transport without compromising on durability.

The tripod's 2-Way Pan Head offers simple, intuitive controls, allowing for a smooth full range of motion that's essential for capturing seamless panoramic shots and tracking moving subjects. With an impressive extended height reaching up to 73.8 inches, you can achieve a wide variety of shooting angles, while the Arca-Swiss Head Mount ensures compatibility with a broad range of mounting options, catering to diverse photographic needs.

Three leg sections provide a wide range of height adjustments, from towering elevations to ground-level perspectives, making it a versatile choice for photographers and videographers alike. The 3-Angle Leg Pivot Locks allow for individual leg positioning, ensuring a stable and secure setup on uneven terrain or in challenging environments. Additionally, the counterweight hook adds an extra layer of stability by allowing you to hang additional weight on the bottom of the center column, countering the effects of windy conditions.

The tripod's 1/4-turn leg locks are designed for a solid hold, and their low-profile design prevents snags when moving the tripod through dense areas. Rubber feet cap off the tripod's features, providing solid footing on slick or smooth surfaces, preventing slippage and enhancing overall safety.

Whether you're capturing the great outdoors or setting up for a studio shoot, the Ridgeview 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod with 2-Way Pan Head and Arca-Swiss Head Mount is your reliable partner for achieving steady and professional-quality shots.
