REKON Outdoor Gear Optics Optimized CT-3HD Carbon Fiber Ambush Tripod with PH-1 Panhead FAQ
The REKON Outdoor Gear Optics Optimized CT-3HD Carbon Fiber Ambush Tripod has a minimum operating height of approximately 10 inches and a maximum height of approximately 65 inches. Its four-section carbon fiber legs feature three selectable leg-angle positions and twist-lock leg adjustments, allowing the tripod to be configured for prone, bench, seated, kneeling, and standing use. Unlike center-column tripods, the CT-3HD does not use a center extension pole, providing maximum rigidity and stability throughout its entire height range.
The included REKON PH-1 Panhead has a maximum loading capacity of 33 pounds. Precision machined from aluminum alloy, it features smooth 360-degree panning, adjustable pan and tilt tension, independent locking controls, a removable pan handle, an integrated bubble level, and a quick-release accessory plate. The CT-3HD tripod itself is rated to support up to 66 pounds, while the complete tripod system is rated for 33 pounds with the PH-1 Panhead installed, providing a stable platform for binoculars, spotting scopes, thermal optics, night vision devices, cameras, and other compatible equipment.
The REKON CT-3HD weighs approximately 7 pounds 3 ounces with the PH-1 Panhead installed. Its premium eight-layer carbon fiber construction helps reduce overall weight while maintaining the rigidity needed for extended glassing sessions in demanding environments. When collapsed with the panhead installed, the tripod measures approximately 26 inches long, making it easy to transport, carry in the field, or secure to a hunting pack.
The REKON Outdoor Gear Optics Optimized CT-3HD package includes one CT-3HD Carbon Fiber Tripod, one PH-1 Panhead, one quick-release accessory plate, one set of digital woodland camouflage leg wraps with an integrated shoulder carry pad, three removable metal spike feet with snow shoes, one premium tripod carrying bag, one hex wrench, and an instruction manual. The tripod also comes with installed non-slip rubber feet for dependable traction on hard surfaces and rocky terrain.
The REKON CT-3HD is constructed with premium eight-layer carbon fiber legs and a heavy-duty precision aluminum-alloy transition assembly engineered for demanding hunting conditions. The PH-1 Panhead is precision machined from aluminum alloy and sealed with cold-resistant grease for dependable operation in harsh weather. Together, these premium materials provide exceptional rigidity, corrosion resistance, smooth operation, and long-term durability while remaining lighter than comparable all-metal tripod systems.
The REKON Outdoor Gear Optics Optimized CT-3HD is specifically designed as a premium scanning tripod for hunters using binoculars, spotting scopes, thermal optics, night vision devices, and other observation equipment. The included PH-1 Panhead provides exceptionally smooth panning and controlled tilt adjustments, making it ideal for glassing large areas, tracking moving animals, and extended observation sessions. If your hunting needs change in the future, the PH-1 Panhead can be replaced with a compatible REKON ball head, allowing the CT-3HD to transition from an optics-focused scanning platform into a stable weapon-mounted shooting tripod for big game or predator hunting.
