Athlon Midas CF32 Tripod

Glassing for hours with a spotting scope or supporting a heavy binocular demands a tripod that won't vibrate in the wind or sag under load, but you still have to carry it in. The Midas CF32 delivers 55 lb load capacity at just 5.7 lbs using 10-layer carbon fiber legs and a 32 mm leg diameter. It ships ready to deploy with the ball head, a separate leveling head, an Arca-Swiss quick-release plate, spiked feet, shoulder sling, and a padded carrying case — no separate head purchase needed.

Key Features

• 10-Layer Carbon Fiber, 32 mm Legs — High rigidity and vibration dampening at only 5.7 lbs. The lightest option in the Midas CF line that still offers genuine heavy-duty load capacity.
• 55 lb Load Capacity — Far above the typical 3–15 lb weight of spotting scopes, bolt rifles, and telephoto rigs. That unused headroom is what keeps the platform dead-quiet when wind pushes a long eyepiece or recoil pulses through the legs. Step up to the CF36 for 66 lbs or the CF40 for 88 lbs if you run heavier NV or suppressed setups.
• Dual Head System — Ball head with Arca-Swiss quick-release plate, independent friction control, and fluid pan lock for smooth scanning. 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, No Add-Ons — Ships ready to use with the ball head, leveling head, Arca-Swiss clamp, spiked feet, shoulder sling, shoulder pad, MOLLE leg wraps, tripod hammock, and padded carrying case. No separate head, plate, or case purchases needed.

Ideal For

• Long-range and PRS shooters who want rock-solid stability for bolt-action and chassis rifles without carrying 8+ lbs of tripod to the line.
• Spotting scope users who need smooth fluid panning and Arca compatibility for fast scope swaps at the range or in the field.
• Hunters who need a full-height tripod (65") for standing glassing but also want it packable at 5.7 lbs and 26" folded — light enough for truck hunts and moderate pack-ins.
• Wildlife photographers and birders who need vibration-free support for telephoto lenses up to 55 lbs.
