Loved by Professionals Across Industries

Leave behind the burdens of bulky gear on remote trails, where excess weight slows your stride—the Ascend-14 offers supreme compactness and modular flexibility from a brand trusted by elite professionals for over 35 years. Tailored for discerning photographers framing intricate details and backcountry hunters scouting hidden game, this ultra-light carbon fiber foundation empowers custom setups, transforming demanding expeditions into rewarding explorations with tack-sharp captures or steady real-time views.

Stability/Rigidity

At the core of reliable support is the ability to resist flex, vibrations, and forces like wind or uneven ground, keeping shots sharp and precise. The Ascend-14 shines with premium carbon fiber that absorbs shocks more effectively than typical materials, paired with a low center of gravity to minimize torsional stress. This ensures shake-free performance in dynamic environments, ideal for long exposures in photography or maintaining accuracy during spotting in the field.

Load Capacity

A robust load rating provides confidence for heavier gear without risk of sagging or tipping, letting you focus on the moment. Conservatively rated at 30 lb, the Ascend-14 handles telephoto lenses, spotting scopes, or rifles with optics effortlessly—well beyond everyday needs. This strength supports versatile setups for extended shoots or pursuits, where gear reliability is paramount.

Portability/Weight

Lightweight design cuts fatigue on hikes or travels while upholding durability, making it a go-to for mobile adventurers. Weighing just 3.00 lb and folding to a slim 17.1" with 3.4" diameter, the Ascend-14 slips into backpacks seamlessly, prioritizing compactness for effortless carry. Carbon fiber construction shaves weight without compromise, perfect for location photography or multi-day hunting treks.

Height Adjustability

Flexible heights adapt to any terrain, avoiding awkward strains or missed opportunities from fixed limitations. Extending to 58.2" for comfortable eye-level standing and down to 3.7" for creative low angles, the Ascend-14 includes independent leg spreads for stability on slopes or rocks. This range empowers diverse compositions in photography or elevated spotting in hunting, with quick transitions in varied conditions.

Quick Setup/Locks

Swift deployment captures fleeting moments without delays, essential in fast-paced outdoor scenarios. The Ascend-14's short-throw twist locks extend and secure in seconds, even in cold or wet weather, supporting one-handed adjustments for solo users. This efficiency keeps you ready for spontaneous photos, videos, or sightings, turning opportunities into achievements.

Versatility/Compatibility

Adaptable features expand workflows across pursuits, with the standard 3/8"-16 threaded base allowing secure mounting of any industry-standard tripod head, such as our BH-30 or Anvil-30-ARC ball heads for precise control. This modularity supports hybrid needs like photo-to-video shifts or spotting-to-shooting, making it a perfect companion for personalized kits in travel or field settings.

Durability/Build Quality

Proudly designed, manufactured, and hand-assembled in the USA, the Ascend-14 was engineered for outdoor rigors, using high-grade carbon fiber, precision-machined parts and weather-sealed o-rings to resist corrosion, impacts, and exposure to elements. Such craftsmanship ensures lasting performance amid frequent use in harsh terrains—essential where gear failure isn't an option. This resilience, backed by a robust warranty, empowers professionals in high-stakes environments, season after season.
