Loved by Professionals Across Industries

Rise above the frustrations of limited reach in rugged alpine expanses, where uneven terrain leaves critical vantage points just out of grasp—the Ascend-14L-BH integrates commanding height with seamless, all-in-one stability from a brand trusted by elite professionals for over 35 years. Tailored for discerning photographers framing sweeping landscapes and backcountry hunters glassing distant horizons, this ultra-light carbon fiber design minimizes bulk through built-in precision, 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-14L-BH 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-14L-BH 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 3.38 lb and folding to a slim 21.1" with 3.4" diameter, the Ascend-14L-BH achieves streamlined compactness by integrating essential functions, avoiding the added bulk of separate components. 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 68.9" for comfortable eye-level standing and down to 5.1" for creative low angles, the Ascend-14L-BH 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-14L-BH'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 integrated 22mm ball head offering Arca-Swiss quick-release for seamless gear mounting. Smooth panning and tilting handle hybrid needs like photo-to-video shifts or spotting-to-shooting, delivering all-in-one convenience without the need for extra attachments. This integrated design fits travel demands, whether composing panoramas or steadying optics.

Durability/Build Quality

Proudly designed, manufactured, and hand-assembled in the USA, the Ascend-14L-BH 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.
