 Vortex Dakota 4-Section Aluminum Tripod with Quick Release Ball Head. A midsize aluminum tripod that's a complete solution for binoculars and spotting scopes, the Vortex Optics Dakota is well made and offers a nice ball head for sport optics use. The head has adjustable tension control, so that you can follow subjects with the head unlocked and not have to worry about the head 'dumping' to gravity if you should take your hands away for a moment.
The Dakota's quick release system is an open-channel type, meaning that the relationship of the plate to the clamp is horizontally variable. This makes it possible to adjust the fore/aft position of your optics so that the weight is perfectly positioned over the legset, allowing you to carry a little less weight. For smaller scopes with rotating tripod collars, you can put the collar to the side of the scope and use the vertical notch of the head combined with the tension control to simulate the advantages of a gimbal
head. $199.95. |
 Vortex High Country 5-Section Tripod w/ Quick Release Ball Head. A tripod to choose for arduous journeys where every scrap of weight and size must be judiciously considered, the Vortex High Country tripod is a five-segment unit made to accommodate spotting scopes or binoculars weighing up to 5 lbs (~2.3kg).
The High Country's ball head has a quick release mechanism which features the
open channel design, instead of the more common fixed-position quick releases.
By having an open channel, it is able to have a built-in fore/aft adjustment
between the quick release plate and the clamp, so that your binocular or
telescope will be ideally balanced over the tripod's center-allowing you to
carry a smaller rig while still getting stable observing. $79.95 . |
 Vortex Ridgeview 4-Section Tripod w/ Quick Release Ball Head. The Ridgeview tripod from Vortex Optics is their full-height aluminum model for serious backcountry hikes, getting to nearly 61" (~155cm) at full extension and weighing 3.6 lbs (~1.6kg).
The Ridgeview's lever-locking ball head has an open channel style quick release
clamp, which does not have a fixed fore and aft relationship with the quick
release plate like so many more common quick release systems employ. This allows
for a sliding adjustment for the quick release plate, so that you can perfectly
center the weight of the spotting scope or binocular directly over the tripod
(and thus achieve stable viewing despite carrying more narrow diameter,
lighter-class leg segments). $129.95. |
