Athlon Midas CF29 Tripod

The lightest entry in Athlon's Midas CF lineup — 29 mm 10-layer carbon fiber legs support 33 lbs at just 5.5 lbs. The same dual-head system (ball head + leveling head), Arca-Swiss compatibility, and full accessory package as the larger models, at the lowest weight and price point in the series. Sized right for spotting scopes, lighter rifles, and birding setups where every ounce counts.

Key Features

• 10-Layer Carbon Fiber, 29 mm Legs — High rigidity and vibration dampening at only 5.5 lbs — the lightest Midas CF tripod, built for shooters and glassers who prioritize packability.
• 33 lb Load Capacity — Handles spotting scopes, rimfire and lightweight centerfire rifles, binoculars, and camera rigs. For heavier bolt guns or NV setups, step up to the CF32 (55 lbs) or CF36 (66 lbs).
• Dual Head System — Ball head with Arca-Swiss quick-release plate, independent friction control, and fluid pan lock for smooth tracking. A separate leveling head with bowl mount and 3/8" stud handles one-hand adjustment on rifles and larger attachments.
• Multi-Axis Leveling — Dual circular bubble levels on the tripod and ball head let you establish a solid, level foundation before fine-tuning.
• 65" Max / 9" Min Height — Full standing height down to prone or ground-level. Legs adjust to three angle stops (80°, 55°, 25°) for rapid height changes.
• High-Tension Twist Locks — Secure grip on all four leg sections with quick, one-handed adjustment.
• Multi-Terrain Feet — Rubber feet for hard surfaces; included spiked feet screw in for dirt, snow, or soft ground.
• Counterweight Hook — Hang a pack or weight to dampen vibrations in wind.
• MOLLE Leg Wraps & Tripod Hammock — Attach pouches to the leg wraps and stow gear in the hammock between the legs.
• Complete Kit — Ships ready to use with ball head, leveling head, Arca clamp, spiked feet, shoulder sling, shoulder pad, MOLLE leg wraps, tripod hammock, and padded carrying case. No extra purchases needed.

Ideal For

• Spotting scope users who need smooth fluid panning and Arca compatibility for quick scope swaps at the range or in the field.
• Hunters who want a full-height tripod (65") for standing glassing at the lowest weight in the Midas CF series — 5.5 lbs and 26" folded for easier pack-ins.
• PRS and rimfire shooters looking for a stable, vibration-dampening platform that won't weigh down their match bag.
• Wildlife photographers and birders who need a lightweight carbon fiber tripod with smooth panning for telephoto lenses.
