ARDEA AL

Tripods

The KITE OTPICS aluminum tripod ARDEA AL is a professional compact all-round tripod. It is a user- and budget friendly birdwatching tripod that is easy to travel with. Despite its small dimensions and light weight of only 1.4 kilograms, the tubes are still large enough to offer very rigid support to heavy optical instruments.  

The ARDEA AL, weighing 2,2 kilograms with head can extend to 160 cm, offering comfortable viewing for very tall people. The very durable twist locks offer excellent grip, and as an advantage over conventional flip locks, twist locks are faster to operate and do not get stuck behind branches or bushes in the field. They also allow the user to easily disassemble the legs for cleaning and maintenance.

A wide array of heads and other accessories can easily be added via the 1/4″ and 3/8″ attachment on the upper disc.
