Description
Ultralight, extremely compact and perfect for on the go
This tripod stands out for its innovative design, with the legs folding along the center column. This makes the tripod compactly folded to approximately 39 cm in length and it fits effortlessly into the compact carrying case provided. The size and weight also make it suitable as carry-on luggage on an airplane
With a weight of only circa 950 gram is this one of the lightest full‑size carbon tripods in its class — ideal for long walks and hikes where every gram counts.
Ideal for hikes and long walks
The tripod can be attached loose to a backpack on the hook under the center column , making it extra comfortable to carry during hikes. Due to the combination of low weight, compact design, and reliable stability , this tripod is our recommended choice as a solid, light, and compact alternative for nature lovers who are always on the go.
Stable observation in any terrain
The 5-piece carbon legs provide a good balance between compactness and stability. With a maximum height of approximately 153–154 cm the tripod is suitable for comfortable standing observation. The twist-and-pull locking enables quick height adjustments — handy when animals suddenly appear in view.
The removable and reversible center column enables observation from low viewpoints, for example near water edges or from a hide. For extra stability, the center column can be used as a short column.
KS-5 ballhead for smooth tracking
The KS-5 ballhead is made from durable aluminum alloy and suitable for scopes and binoculars up to 8 kg. The panoramic base with numbered scale enables smooth horizontal movements, ideal for tracking birds or wildlife. The Arca-type quick-release plate with flip-lock system ensures a quick and secure attachment of your viewing instrument or tripod adapter.
When to choose a different tripod?
This tripod is optimized for mobility and lightweight use. For long-term daily use without long hikes, or when weight and compactness are less important, we recommend a more robust tripod , such as the Sirui ST124 or Sirui L224FL, which offer extra stability for heavier applications.
Ideal for
- Birdwatching and ornithology
