Vortex Switchback Tripod

Vortex Switchback Carbon Fiber Tripod

Model: SB-100 | Lightweight, Versatile Stability for Hunters & Shooters

Take your glassing and shooting to the next level with the Vortex Switchback Carbon Fiber Tripod — a rugged, ultra-portable tripod designed specifically for hunters, long-range shooters, and outdoor enthusiasts who demand rock-solid stability without the weight penalty of traditional setups. Built with high-strength carbon fiber legs, this tripod combines exceptional durability, low weight, and fast deployment for backcountry hunts, mountain stalks, or range days.

At just 4.6 lbs, the Switchback is easy to carry all day in a pack or sling, yet it extends to a generous 65 inches maximum height for comfortable standing glassing with binos or spotting scopes. The ultra-low 5.8-inch minimum height makes it perfect for prone shooting, ground-level observation, or stable setups in tight terrain. When packed, it collapses to a compact 29 inches, fitting easily in most hunting packs or vehicle storage.

The smooth-operating twist locks provide quick, secure leg adjustments, while the included ball head (or optional leveling head compatibility) delivers fluid panning and precise leveling. Rubber feet with optional spikes ensure grip on rocks, dirt, snow, or uneven surfaces, and the carbon fiber construction shrugs off impacts, moisture, and temperature extremes.
