Overview

Overview

We've engineered our most compact and adaptable adventure tripod yet: the Ascend-14. Available in two sizes, the Ascend-14 prioritizes a sleek, minimal profile for easy packing in carry-on luggage, while the Ascend-14L extends working height without sacrificing portability, fitting snugly into backpacks. Its integrated ball head seamlessly nests into the apex for convenience. Alternatively, for those with existing ball heads or other heads with a 3/8" mounting socket, we offer a platform version of the Ascend-14, featuring a traditional platform with mounting stud for universal compatibility. Experience versatility and convenience with the Ascend-14 series.

Since 2009, we've been at the forefront of crafting premium carbon fiber tripods and consistently refining our products based on invaluable customer feedback. Our commitment to high-quality craftsmanship remains unwavering as we proudly continue to hand-assemble all our tripods in the USA.
