Vortex Optics Mountain Pass™ Tripod

Gas and grocery prices are taking a bigger dent out of our wallets every month, but that doesn’t mean we have to refinance the mortgage for a lightweight, rock-solid tripod. Vortex’s Mountain Pass Tripod gives a ton of bang for the buck with features more often found on tripods with a comma in the price.

This aluminum tripod handles large binoculars and spotting scopes, alike. It’s purpose built to help anyone make the most of their glassing game. Whether spotting gobblers strutting in fields, distant targets at the gun range or searching for big game miles from the truck, the Mountain Pass™ Aluminum Tripod Kit delivers the kind of sturdy, smooth and reliable operation that you’d expect in a tripod that costs a lot more.

Capable of supporting a maximum load of 22 pounds, the machined-aluminum design delivers an excellent balance of strength, size and durability. With folded dimensions of 19×4 inches and weighing just 3.1 pounds, it’s super packable. A minimum height of 9 inches and a maximum height of 56 inches also means it’s extremely versatile for glassing while standing, sitting or lying prone.

When the view changes quickly, you need a tripod that can keep up — and the Mountain Pass™ delivers with fast, telescopic legs that adjust independently and lock with a quick flip of a lever. It also comes equipped with a 2-Way Pan Head that securely holds your optic via an Arca-Swiss compatible quick-release system.

The tripod’s intuitive controls allow a full range of motion. Rubber feet give solid footing on slick surfaces and a built-in counterweight hook adds even greater stability in windy conditions. The Mountain Pass™ Tripod Kit also comes with a rubber packing strap and handy carrying case.

The full kit includes:

  • Quick-Release Plate with 1/4″-20 Thread
  • Rubber Packing Strap
  • Counterweight Hook
  • Carry Case
  • 1.3mm Hex Wrench
