Unmatched Stability and Rigidity

For shooters in tactical settings, stability means unwavering hold against recoil, vibrations, or environmental forces for flawless performance. The TFCT-33 leads with its tapered apex design, secured by four mounting screws for exceptional twist-resistant stability, and premium carbon fiber legs that effectively reduce vibrations and shake. This ensures your rifle remains locked in during prone or barricade positions, minimizing any shifts that could impact accuracy—providing the refined control essential for precise outcomes.

Robust Load Capacity

Load capacity forms the backbone for securely handling heavy gear without risk, offering shooters assurance in intense situations. With a conservative rating of 85 lb (39 kg), the TFCT-33 manages rifles, optics, bipods, and accessories effortlessly, preventing sagging or tipping under demanding loads. This real-world-proven strength—far exceeding standard needs—allows full focus on the mission rather than equipment constraints, ideal for competition rigs or field glassing.

Portability and Weight

In tactical operations, a sturdy build supports reliability while allowing practical carry over distances. Weighing 4.66 lb (2.11 kg) and folding to 28.0" (71 cm), the TFCT-33 prioritizes endurance in the field. Its carbon fiber construction balances weight with unyielding toughness, suitable for shooters maneuvering through varied terrain or hunters on extended patrols.

Height Adjustability

Adaptable heights facilitate seamless shifts between standing, prone, or barricade shots, adapting to terrain for tactical efficiency. The TFCT-33 reaches up to 60.9" (155 cm) for upright use and down to 7.0" (18 cm) for low-profile setups. Independent leg angles with auto-ratcheting stops in three positions enable swift adjustments on uneven ground, aiding timed stages or stable hunting positions.

Quick Setup and Locks

Fast deployment is crucial for responding to dynamic threats or opportunities. The TFCT-33's weather-sealed, field-serviceable twist locks extend securely with minimal effort, even in adverse conditions. With fewer leg sections for quicker extension and pull-tab angle stops for one-handed operation, it keeps your dominant hand free—perfect for maintaining readiness in high-pressure events.

Versatility and Compatibility

Versatility broadens tactical utility, with the tapered apex optimized for the Anvil-30 head's secure four-screw undermount interface, enabling dual Arca/Picatinny compatibility for rifles or optics. Interchangeable teardrop feet conform to diverse terrain, and an optional mini center column adds height for precise tuning. As an added perk for users blending pursuits, the Anvil-30 serves as a reliable leveling base, and pairing with accessories like the PG-02 pano-gimbal head supports smoother content creation workflows.

Durability and Build Quality

Engineered to thrive in rigorous tactical use, the TFCT-33 features premium carbon fiber and precision machining, hand-assembled in the USA for superior longevity. Weather-sealed elements withstand extreme conditions, backed by a 5-year warranty, ensuring dependable performance through intense handling or frequent deployment—vital for shooters in critical environments.

Additional Features

Integrated elements like 1/4"-20 accessory sockets for levels or hooks, and a load-bearing strap for secure transport, amplify functionality. These facilitate accurate spotting or glassing, adding weights for enhanced wind resistance—refining setups for optimal field results.
