Vortex backcountry tripod - Vortex High Country II Tripod Kit

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.
