Kite Optics Carbon tripod Ardea CF (81269)

The Kite Optics Ardea CF carbon tripod is engineered specifically for birdwatchers who need a sturdy, portable, and lightweight support system. This standard-height tripod features three sections with large-diameter carbon fiber legs that provide exceptional rigidity and stability, even when carrying heavy optical equipment.

The Ardea CF weighs only 1.45 kg, making it easy to transport and set up in the field. Its durable twist locks are quick to operate, provide a secure grip, and are less likely to snag on branches or brush compared to flip locks. The design also allows for simple disassembly of the legs for cleaning and maintenance.

Equipped with a retractable weight hook for additional stability, two foam handles for comfort, and an integrated spirit level for precise setup, the Ardea CF is ready for demanding outdoor use. The tripod is compatible with a wide variety of tripod heads and accessories thanks to both 1/4" and 3/8" mounting options on the top plate. A carrying bag is included for convenience.
