One of the best ways to enhance shooting stability in the field is with a tripod, but weight is a huge consideration that often keeps hunters and shooters from taking advantage of one. The Primos Trigger Stick Apex Carbon Fiber Tripod is designed to save weight, making it easy to carry afield, and also save on cost compared to other more expensive options.

Weighing in at just 7 lbs., the tripod features spring-loaded legs that automatically adjust to terrain height with a simple squeeze of a trigger. Overall height ranges from 28" to 62", and the unit provides a load capacity of up to 50 lbs. The Apex Clamp design enables users to smoothly pan or quickly adjust for targeting, and it’s also compatible with ball-head attachments for binoculars or spotting scopes.

MSRP is $499. For more information, please visit primos.com.
