A High-Reach, Ultra-Light Support System Built for Serious Adventure

For photographers who travel far, move fast, and rely on absolute stability in unpredictable environments, this Ascend-14L + BH-30 package delivers unmatched versatility with truly backcountry-ready performance. The towering reach of the Ascend-14L pairs seamlessly with the BH-30’s compact precision to create a system that stabilizes heavy optics, adapts rapidly to changing terrain, and deploys in seconds. Whether you’re capturing sweeping alpine vistas, glassing distant ridgelines, or switching quickly between stills and video in the field, this lightweight combination provides the rock-solid confidence and mobility required for demanding outdoor work.

Maximum Height, Minimal Weight, Built for the Backcountry

Engineered to overcome the limitations of uneven ground and obstructed sightlines, the Ascend-14L gives you commanding height with the same portability that makes the Ascend line beloved across industries for more than 35 years. Its premium carbon fiber legs absorb vibrations and resist torsional stress, delivering crisp, stable images and dependable spotting performance in wind, cold, or shifting terrain. Despite its impressive reach, the Ascend-14L maintains a lean carry profile—3.19 lb, folding to 19.6", and built to travel deep into rugged environments without slowing your pace. Extend it to a towering 67.5" for elevated vantage points or drop to a grounded 3.7" for creative low-angle framing, all supported by independent leg spreads and weather-ready short-throw twist locks for fast adjustments. Rated for 30 lb, it handles telephotos, spotting scopes, binocular systems, or rifles with optics with unfailing reliability. Proudly built in the USA and engineered for harsh terrain, it stands as a durable, long-term pillar for field photographers and backcountry hunters alike.

Compact Power and Intuitive Control for Mobile Shooters

Designed for shooters who need precision without bulk, the BH-30 brings smooth motion, instant lockup, and impressive strength to your mobile workflow. Its 15 lb load capacity confidently supports mirrorless bodies, pro DSLRs, and lenses up to 70-200mm f/2.8—ideal for travel and backcountry kits. The 30mm hollow ball provides frictionless articulation with ±45° tilt in any direction, securing instantly with no sag or drift even at steep angles. A single 90° drop notch allows fast vertical transitions, while the low-center-of-gravity design keeps your camera close to the tripod apex, maximizing stability during long exposures, high magnification, or windy conditions. Add a precision-engraved panning base and you get clean, repeatable panoramic rotation in a head that weighs only 10 oz and stands just 3.0" tall.

Speed, Efficiency, and Reliability in One Compact Head

The included B2-40-LR lever-release clamp transforms the BH-30 into a rapid top-loading system perfect for fast lens changes, quick reframing, or switching between handheld and tripod work on the fly. Its low-profile design keeps your setup clean and snag-free, while the RRS 1.5" Dovetail Standard ensures perfect Arca-type compatibility across your kit. Built with unmistakable RRS precision and American-made durability, it brings pro-grade performance to even the most minimalist field setups.

A Tall, Strong, Travel-Ready System for Ambitious Explorers

Together, the Ascend-14L and BH-30 create a uniquely powerful and lightweight platform capable of supporting heavy optics while maintaining speed and portability. With towering height, carbon-fiber rigidity, and compact ball-head control, this system thrives in demanding locations—from steep mountainsides to remote plains to travel landscapes abroad.

Pack lighter, reach higher, stabilize faster, and shoot with total confidence—this is precision support engineered for real adventure.
