Most Helpful Positive Review Great spotting scope tripod!
I purchased this tripod to mount an Athlon Ares G2 15-45 65mm spotting scope. The High Country II has been very stable and easy to pack. The pan head has been very smooth and perfect for my scope. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a sub $200 aluminum tripod. I have been very pleased so far!

Vortex High Country Ii Tripod

by Tom, Verified Owner from NC, United States Written on August 17, 2025
I bought this as a dedicated tripod for my spotting scope so I wouldn’t have to switch back and forth to one of my camera tripods. The High Country II is at least as good as my much-more-expensive Manfrottos. The leg lever locks on the Vortex are especially secure and easy to use, and the tripod is rock solid. This is the perfect tripod for a heavy spotting scope.

Great Tripod by Vortex

by Ty, Verified Owner from OR, United States Written on July 9, 2025
The tripod is well built and stable. I use this with my Vortex Razor spotting scope and the height is just right. It came with a carrying case which is nice.

Vortex High Country II Tripod

by Keith Holland, Verified Owner from TN, United States Written on April 6, 2025
Very well made, sturdy, and perfect size for scope viewing while standing, sitting, or prone position. Flip lock legs are easy to manipulate and hold securely. Excellent fit and finish. ARCA-SWISS mount holds heavy 20-60 X85 spotting scope securely and steady. Folds down to easy to pack and carry size.

Vortex High Country II Tripod

by Old Man Winter, Verified Owner from TN, United States Written on March 27, 2025
Very nice mid-range priced tripod. Firing range use only so weight is not an issue especially compared to carbon fiber models at twice or three times the cost. Perfect height for scoping standing up (I’m 6’- 2”) and will go low enough for scoping from prone position. Flip-lock leg extensions are easy to operate and hold very securely. Holds my Vortex Viper HD 20-60X85 angled very steady including pan-tilt positions. My first experience using Arca-Swiss type mount and I’m pleased with its ease of use and secure holding power.
Pros:
  • Perfect size for standing or prone scoping. Very sturdy for heavy or expensive optics. Not cheap but not cheaply made.
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • Scoping from standing, sitting, or prone position.
Would recommend: Yes

Vortex backcountry tripod

by Rayscot59, Verified Owner from IL, United States Written on January 25, 2025
This is lightweight sturdy rugged. Price point is good. Would have liked carbon fiber but out of budget. Has a case for transport but not sure how sturdy would be backpacking. Seems good. Time will tell the tale. Warrenty is excellent. Had some problems with other products and drove to facility and went home with new not refurbished. Great company. Treated excellent while there.

Top Quality Tripod

by Robert Wilson, Verified Owner from NC, United States Written on January 16, 2025
Initially bought a much cheaper tripod which wasn’t stable and was difficult to set for uneven terrain. This tripod does it all…rangefinder, spotting scope, shooting tripod with the right adapter (Javelin). As the case most of the time, you get what you pay for and this tripod has been worth the cost.

Vortex quality!

by JohnT, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on January 10, 2025
Great tripod - sturdy and not too heavy and easy to set up. Vortex quality through and through- but matched with Optics Planet's great service and prices - unbeatable!
