Epic Optics Epic Lite Tripod Combo

The Epic Lite Tripod and Epic Lite Head is a true light-weight "Backpacker" tripod and is well suited for multi-day back country hunts. This 4 section, carbon fiber compact tripod weighs only 2.7 lbs, has a maximum height of 50", and the inverted leg design allows it to collapse to a length of 15" for easy storage in your backpack. This is a sit-down tripod and is typically too short to be used in a standing position.

This tripod features the Epic Lite Head which was specifically designed by the Epic Outdoors Crew for extremely fluid movement while glassing. It also features a 4-inch "shorty" handle that won't get in the way while glassing or packing the tripod. The side friction knob controls the tilt movement and the handle rotates to control the pan movement. This design allows you to lock in the vertical movement while still giving you fluid horizontal movement. The head features an Arca Swiss mount and comes with one Arca Swiss mounting plate.

The legs are rated to hold up to 17 lbs and the head up to 9 lbs. This tripod will handle large spotting scopes, like the BTX even if you're unlikely to pack a large spotter in the back country. This is the perfect light-weight hunting tripod. This combo also comes with a soft carrying case.

The center column can be removed and replaced with the included short center column if you would like a lay flat design.
