REKON Outdoor Gear CT-1 Carbon Fiber Tripod with BH-1 Ball Head and RTA2 Arca-Swiss Adaptor Mount FAQ
The REKON Outdoor Gear CT-1 Carbon Fiber Tripod has a minimum operating height of approximately 10 inches and a maximum height of approximately 68 inches. Its adjustable four-section legs, three selectable leg-angle positions, and interchangeable long and short center-axis shafts allow hunters to configure the tripod for prone, seated, kneeling, bench, and standing positions. The long center shaft provides the widest range of shooting heights, while the short shaft lowers the tripod for stable prone or bench shooting.
The included REKON BH-1 Ball Head has a loading capacity of approximately 35 pounds. Its heavy-duty 36mm ball, precision aluminum-alloy construction, separate head-tension adjustment, and independent pan lock provide a stable and adjustable platform for compatible rifles, optics, cameras, and other hunting equipment. The BH-1 also offers 360-degree panning and uses an Arca-Swiss-compatible mounting interface, allowing hunters to smoothly scan an area and then securely lock the equipment into the desired position.
The REKON CT-1 weighs approximately 3 pounds, 14.4 ounces with the BH-1 Ball Head and long center-axis extension pole installed. Its lightweight carbon-fiber leg construction makes the tripod easier to carry into remote hunting locations while still providing the stability needed for shooting and optics use. The legs can also be inverted and folded back 180 degrees, reducing the tripod to approximately 18 inches for transportation and storage. This combination of manageable weight and compact folded size makes the CT-1 well suited for mobile hunters.
The REKON CT-1 package includes one CT-1 Carbon Fiber Tripod, one BH-1 Ball Head, one ball-head quick-release accessory plate, one long center-axis shaft, one short center-axis shaft, one RTA2 Arca-Swiss adaptor mount, two sets of removable camouflage leg wraps in woodland green and digital desert or grassland patterns, three removable metal spike feet, one tripod carrying and storage bag, one hex wrench, and an instruction manual. The tripod also has non-slip rubber feet installed for use across a variety of terrain.
The REKON CT-1 uses lightweight eight-layer carbon-fiber tripod legs combined with a heavy-recoil-resistant precision aluminum-alloy transition assembly. Reinforced leg-attachment areas and covered leg-latch mechanisms help improve strength while reducing the intrusion of sand, dirt, and field debris. The included BH-1 Ball Head is manufactured from precision aluminum alloy, while the adaptor mount is CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and features a hard-anodized finish. These materials provide a strong, corrosion-resistant tripod system without adding unnecessary carrying weight.
REKON tripods are designed to provide a versatile platform for multiple hunting applications. Hunters can use the CT-1 to scan with binoculars, spotting scopes, thermal optics, or other compatible equipment and then quickly transition to a weapon-mounted shooting setup when pursuing big game. Its lightweight construction, adjustable height, and user-friendly Arca-Swiss interface also make it a suitable hunting rest for predator hunters who frequently move between stands. The tripod can be configured for prone, seated, kneeling, bench, or standing use to accommodate changing terrain and shooting positions.
