Whether on thermal night runs chasing wild pigs or glassing terrain with a spotting scope, this tripod has consistently provided exceptional stability. Its longer legs, featuring just one adjustable section, allow for quick and hassle-free deployment, while\u00a0the sturdy 42mm carbon fiber construction offers significantly greater rigidity compared to many smaller, more compact tripod options.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recon-v2-ls-inverted-tripod-specifications\">Recon V2 LS Inverted Tripod Specifications<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Weight<\/strong>: 5 lbs 3 oz<\/li>\n<li><strong>Leg Sections<\/strong>: 2 \/ 1 Twist Locks<\/li>\n<li><strong>Main Tube Diameter<\/strong>: 42mm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Collapsed Height<\/strong>: 39 inches<\/li>\n<li><strong>Deployed Height<\/strong>: 65.5 inches<\/li>\n<li><strong>Leg Adjustment Tabs<\/strong>: Spring-loaded ratcheting ears<\/li>\n<li><strong>Max Weight Rating<\/strong>: 100 lbs<\/li>\n<li><strong>Included<\/strong>: Tripod &amp; spiked feet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-legs\">Legs<\/h2>\n<p>The two-section leg design of the QDT V2 LS Inverted tripod enables a quick and efficient setup, collapsing down to 39 inches and extending to a maximum height of 65.5 inches. With 42mm carbon fiber tubes, it offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, providing a stable platform even under the recoil of heavier rifles. I\u2019ve used it with a 20lb rifle setup, and it handles the weight effortlessly.<\/p>\n<p>However, despite the vented leg tubes, there is some noticeable air resistance when deploying or collapsing the legs quickly. It feels akin to the sensation of using an air pump to inflate a football or basketball, though with much less pressure buildup. Additionally, the vented air can be somewhat noisy when moving the legs quickly, but you can easily make slow, quiet adjustments when stealth is required during hunts.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"Camo painted gun and tripod on stone path\" class=\"wp-image-206526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-kfnoj.nitrocdn.com\/ILCCnYxtsGmZGyBtowSYmImHKsJVcxJe\/assets\/images\/optimized\/rev-29760ab\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_5772-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-kfnoj.nitrocdn.com\/ILCCnYxtsGmZGyBtowSYmImHKsJVcxJe\/assets\/images\/optimized\/rev-29760ab\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_5772-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cdn-kfnoj.nitrocdn.com\/ILCCnYxtsGmZGyBtowSYmImHKsJVcxJe\/assets\/images\/optimized\/rev-29760ab\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_5772-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cdn-kfnoj.nitrocdn.com\/ILCCnYxtsGmZGyBtowSYmImHKsJVcxJe\/assets\/images\/optimized\/rev-29760ab\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_5772-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-kfnoj.nitrocdn.com\/ILCCnYxtsGmZGyBtowSYmImHKsJVcxJe\/assets\/images\/optimized\/rev-29760ab\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_5772.jpg 1443w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-kfnoj.nitrocdn.com\/ILCCnYxtsGmZGyBtowSYmImHKsJVcxJe\/assets\/images\/optimized\/rev-29760ab\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_5772-1024x683-839x.jpg\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The fully collapsed tripod remains less compact, yet quicker to fully deploy.
