A sturdy tripod is essential in order for your spotting scope to deliver a tack-sharp, real-world view to your eye. With the New Leica 170 C Carbon Fiber Tripod, sturdy doesn’t mean heavy. When coupled with one of two new Field Observation Heads, this new tripod is a versatile and perfect field companion for great views or stunning images.
Made of carbon and premium magnesium, the Leica 170 C tripod provides maximum stability with minimum weight. Weighing in at a scant 3 pounds, the tripod can easily be carried wherever your feet might take you. Its rubber feet and leg spikes provide maximum stability in any terrain. The included bag, with a comfortable shoulder strap, makes transport easy.
The tripod has a 12 ½-inch center column that can increase the total tripod height to 6 feet, 5 inches, providing adjustability for any situation.
Also introduced are two new Field Observation Heads – the VH-1 and VH-2. These heads offer fluid-effect panning for a wide variety of applications and conditions. The VH-1 is the more compact and is a perfect complement to the 170 C Tripod when looking to reduce size or lighten the load. The large VH-2 Head provides for maximum stability for high-magnification imaging or larger, heavier equipment loads.
Don’t let a shaky or cumbersome hard-to-use tripod ruin your outdoor adventure. Steady, strong and stable, the new Leica 170 C Tripod and matching Field Head is everything you could want in a field companion.
