The Backcountry Lite Tripod is the ultimate choice for backcoutry hunters seeking a lightweight, versatile setup for backcountry hunts. After years of using heavy, sub-par photography tripods that we modified to suit our needs, we knew there had to be a better solution. This tripod is purpose-built for those who value minimal weight and maximum performance during light and fast alpine adventures.

Design Points:

• Minimal Weight: Weighing just 20.4 oz (with the long center column) or 18.9 oz (with the included short center column), this tripod is far lighter than any other offering with comparable features.
• Max Height of 45": Ideal for sitting and glassing with plenty of room to splay the legs on steep hillsides.
• 3-Section Design: Larger diameter carbon tubes provide greater stability compared to 4- or 5-section tripods, offering an optimal stability-to-weight ratio.
• Compact & Packable: The triangular center column design allows the tripod to fold tighter, taking up less space in your pack.
• Adjustable Leg Angles: One-finger adjustment allows for quick changes between three leg angles, ensuring the perfect setup on any terrain.
• Oversized Locking Knob: The large center column locking knob is easy to use with gloved hands.
• Oversized rubber feet: provide a solid grip on all surfaces and wont punch through soft ground. 
• Collapsed Length of 15.5"

Note: The tripod includes both the long and short center columns; Ball Head sold separately.
