Ultralight tripod

[lewy]

I’ve got the outdoorsmans and love it but I’d like to pick up an ultra light for certain trips. I seen a guy selling some at the sportsman’s show but can’t recall the name? Anybody remember? Thanks guys

I'd like to find one of these too

If you absolutely must go ultra light I would most likely check out the KDC

But I have a very hard time justifying my steady image over the weight 

Good luck !

The KDC is a nice 8oz alternative for steadying bino's only, IMO. Biggest spotter I'd consider ever running on top one would be a Kowa 554, and that would be for a closer up look only, no panning.

I've got this one and love it, although I've got very little time spent with it to date. 2lbs 13oz

I took the ball head off(8oz) of it and added the spch20 fluid head(14oz)

so 3lb 3oz all up and I have a 20-60x85 Viper HD spotter on it so far so good.

I bought it at Cameraland NY. Call there and talk to Joel and tell him exactly what you're looking for and he'll steer you true. If you're a member of the Rokslide forum, I believe he'll give you a discount as well.

Thanks guys, yep kdc is what I was thinking of. Only gunna be for the super deep hunts and with binos not a spotter.

Sirui also makes a tiny little carbon fiber that is pretty dang light. I don’t remember the model off the top of my head but I ordered one a couple years ago to compare with Slik and Promaster. It was a quality feeling Tripod for how tiny it was, but I went with the Slik for a little bit more spotter stability at the expense of some weight
