Overview
With the help of our customers' invaluable feedback, we have made our most compact and versatile adventure-tripod yet.
The Ascend-14 tripod is a compact, all-in-one support package available in two sizes: 14—which favors a minimum stowed profile, ideal for packing in a carry-on bag, and 14L—which provides an extended working height while still being compact enough when collapsed to easily fit in a backpack.
For an all-in-one package, look to the integrated ball head that nests into the apex. If you already own one of our ball heads, or any other head with a 3/8" mounting socket, a platform version of the Ascend-14 is offered as well. Instead of the integrated ball head, there is a general use traditional platform with mounting-stud.
Included with the Ascend-14 is our attention to detail, top-quality craftsmanship, and commitment to proudly make and hand-assemble all our tripods in the USA.

THE best travel tripod
Ok....so I'm a RRS Fan Boy. But that's because they make the absolute BEST gear in the world. This isn't the lightest or even the smallest "travel" tripod out there, but no other comes close to the sturdiness and stability it provides! Yes, that quality comes at a price. But you'll never need another travel tripod as long as you live.

Ascend 14
Simply put this is the best optics tripod there is! My plan is to use spotting scopes and binoculars in this for hunting and nature watching. This tripod is more than perfect for this roll! Can’t wait to get more time behind it! Had a few questions about it when it came, RRS techs picked up right away and had all the answers. RRS is the best company in the tripod business and well worth the extra coin!!
