For long-range spotting, birdwatching, and photography, you need a stable yet portable tripod that won’t slow you down. A heavy or unstable setup can ruin a shot, shake your optics, or make long observation sessions frustrating. The Athlon Midas AL28 is designed to eliminate those problems—giving you a lightweight, ultra-stable, and highly adaptable tripod.

The AL28 is designed specifically for spotting optics, providing a sturdy, smooth platform for high-magnification viewing. Whether you're tracking game, capturing wildlife, or using a rangefinder, the Arca-Swiss compatible ball head ensures quick and secure attachment.

Unlike tripods with fixed bowl mounts, the AL28’s center-shaft system allows for quick, incremental height adjustments without needing to adjust multiple leg sections. This makes it perfect for seated or standing observation, allowing you to fine-tune positioning on the fly.

When every detail matters, you need precision control. The multi-axis leveling system and circular bubble levels allow for fine-tuned alignment, ensuring crisp, stable optics. Friction Control & Fluid Pan Control provide buttery-smooth motion, perfect for tracking birds, scanning landscapes, or recording steady video footage.

From grassy fields to rocky ridges, the multi-terrain feet provide the best possible grip on dirt, snow, and uneven surfaces. The center-shaft design allows easy height adjustments, making it ideal for both standing and seated observation positions.

No one wants to struggle with tripod adjustments in the field. The high-tension twist locks provide fast and secure leg positioning, holding up to 26 lbs without slipping. The counterweight hook adds extra stability when conditions demand it.

At just 4.7 lbs and 27 inches folded, the AL28 is compact and easy to transport. The included storage bag protects your tripod while keeping it ready for quick deployment.

If you need a stable, lightweight, and highly versatile tripod for spotting scopes, cameras, or rangefinders, the Athlon Midas AL28 is the ultimate choice.
