Why I chose the Athlon CF32 over all these other Carbon Fiber Tripods
Situation: I wanted a Carbon Fiber Tripod for hunting, but didn't want to spend RRS (Really Right Stuff) money.
Considered:
Vortex Radian
Revic Hunter
Leofoto LS356
Leupold Guide
Athlon CF32
Athlon CF29

Thank you for doing this review. This really helps with knowing the difference between those top brands and the differences you get.
Good video review. This would be a great tripod for hunting, glassing, photography/video near your vehicle. But not for hiking 2-5 miles in the western backcountry, too heavy!

Nice! ... Thanks for taking the time to inspect this tripod. I was able to gain some valuable information.
Great video video bro. I actually snagged the Leupold earlier today from sportsman’s and I’m happy too

Great review!
I know this vid is almost a year old, but I just picked up a Leofoto LVM-324C, VERY comparable to a Vortex Radian carbon fiber... I went with a leveling head. $280 for the tripod. Has lever locks on the legs.
I went with the 2 vets recon v2 with sunwayfoto sm86. I'm also holding up a m99a1........
You should look up Luckett sticks. Not as versatile as a tripod, but maybe even more stable for shooting and significantly lighter

Very nice! Can’t mount my spotting scope on them though.

@@snaph you can use binoculars with them, same as you could with any stick. When I was doing some long range stuff in Colorado, I carried an ultra lightweight tripod for the spotting scope and I shot off of a large bipod (I did not have Luckett sticks yet) I love my RRS tripod, but it's alot to carry for for a shooting platform.

What about the sunwayphoto ?

Didn't see that one when I was looking. What do you think about it?
The tripod is the same as the innorell tripod. I have the innorell super stable and afordable tripod.

It is, and look at the holy price difference, lol.
I think the basket is meant to cover the top for camoflage. I think thats why there is a hole in the bottom to let the thread portion stick out for attaching a spotting scope. But not sure exactly, either way it works as a basket too!

It’s to add weight for stability when you leave it stationary with glass or a camera on top. Drops the center of gravity
FatBoy tripod and ball head is the new best thing. Lifetime warranty

It’s pronounced “Loo-pold.”
The ball head is removable?? You can mount any head on it?? Like manfrotto junior 10 geared?
