Stability is everything when you're working on uneven ground, and the Midas AL28 delivers with multi-terrain configurability. The interchangeable rubber feet provide a solid grip on rocky or hard surfaces, while the spiked feet dig into softer ground like dirt, mud, or snow. Whether you're setting up on a windy cliffside or a soft forest floor, this tripod ensures your gear stays exactly where you need it. And with the multi-axis leveling system, featuring precise circular bubble levels, you’ll never have to worry about misaligned shots or shaky optics, no matter how uneven the terrain.

For photographers and hunters, flexibility in height is critical. The Midas AL28 extends to a maximum height of 65 inches, giving you a high vantage point for long-range shots or wide landscape photography. Need to go low? Its minimum height of 17 inches makes it perfect for low-angle wildlife shots or ground-level perspectives, letting you adapt to any shooting condition. And when it’s time to pack up, the tripod folds down to a compact 27 inches, making it easy to carry in the included padded storage bag.

Quick adjustments are essential when you’re in the field, and the ball head on the Midas AL28 offers just that. With friction control, ball lock, and fluid pan capability, you can smoothly track fast-moving subjects or pan across a landscape with precision. The Arca-Swiss compatible mount ensures your gear attaches securely and quickly, allowing seamless transitions between your spotting scope, camera, or any other equipment. This eliminates the need for additional adapters, saving you time and reducing the risk of missing critical moments.

Built to withstand the rigors of the outdoors, this tripod is made for professionals and serious hobbyists alike. The high-tension twist leg locks allow you to extend and secure the legs in seconds, while the counterweight hook at the center column provides extra stability in windy conditions by allowing you to add weight for more secure footing. Whether you're battling high winds on a mountain top or capturing long-exposure shots on soft, shifting ground, this feature keeps your setup rock-solid.

This makes it ideal for nature photographers, birdwatchers, and long-range hunters who need equipment they can trust in any environment.

Don’t let unreliable gear ruin your outdoor experience. The Athlon Midas AL28 Tripod is built for the adventurer who demands portability, durability, and precision. Invest in a tripod that’s as tough as your environment and as sharp as your focus, so you can capture every moment, perfectly.
