Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics $60 Carbon Fiber Tripod

I don't own this tripod, but it's very similar in specs/features to my Vanguard that I paid a whole lot more for. Might be a good option for the budget-minded user. Just passing along what looks like a good deal.

It would be handy for a chronograph as well. Thanks

Snagged one. Thanks Puppet

Got one on the way, thanks SP for a great headsup!

Got one coming as well! Thanks for the heads up SP.

If one of you that just ordered, when you receive it, would please let me know what country this tripod is made in, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, RJ

Also the height when fully extended and all the way down.
Thanks

Grabbed one. Thanks.

From the mfg's website. Or the importer/brand maybe.

Got one on order too. Should be perfect for the chronograph. Thanks SP

Snagged one...thanks for the heads up

First of all, I am not trying to start a "supporting the enemy" argument. I was just curious and I am passing on information. RJ

Whoever thinks they can get a $60 "not made in China" Carbon Fiber Tripod with a ballhead included is a Fu*ckin idiot.

Anyway, mine will be here today. It will go great with my Chinese Vanguard that I paid 3 times as much for.

I'm interested in your impression when it arrives. I bought one for my daughter as a gift.

Decent, worth the $70 shipped. Cheaper quality than my Vanguard for sure, mostly the ball head. The carbon legs are thinner than my vanguard as well. Will work well for a spotter off the bench, or to glass from the sitting position........although the ball head isn't great, locks up tight enough.

Probably best for on the bench with a spotter. Not tall enough to use while standing......I'm 5'11". Maybe if your 5'5"

Shame back ordered noe

The one I ordered arrived and my impressions mirror those of Screaminseasil's above. Overall, just not as refined as my vanguard, but for 1/3 the price I didn't really expect it to be. The twist locks are a little more course in feel and require a bit more effort to get them to stay put, and the segments don't slide quite as smoothly. The ball head is quite simple and does what it's supposed to. Everything seems to function as designed, just without the refinement of more expensive options.

For the coin, it's more than acceptable.

Absolutely couldn't have said it better myself.

In any event. Worth the coin, and thank you again for the heads up. I appreciate it. I needed a cheap little one for bench use. This will workout great for spotting off the bench.

Sure thing, hope they work out for those who bought them.

Good deal. I just want mine to hold my chronograph. I bought a Suriu from Doug a couple years ago on a special and love it for spotter work, range or field. This one doesn't have to be as good.
