The Nikon Compact Outdoor Tripod (brand part no. 16749) is a packable, stable platform for a spotting scope, binocular or camera. The four-section aluminum alloy legs collapse to 15.75 inches and extend to 49.61 inches, and the whole tripod weighs just 32.8 ounces. A rotating aluminum ball head with a quick release plate locks the optic into position. It is a sensible companion for a hunter or range shooter who wants glass on a steady mount without carrying a heavy tripod.
