In precision rifle competition, it comes down to the final score and time of completion to determine the winner. There are no excuses!  Knowing this, Zeiss introduces the Pro-Series Tripod Kit - Max-Duty model. The Max-Duty allows shooters to purchase the most advanced competition-ready tripod kits with highly versatile ballheads, a removable center column, and relevant accessories kitted together for a one-and-done purchase. It offers massive 44 mm diameter, 10-layer carbon fiber legs, coupled with an exclusive and highly innovative single-point leg adjustment system for fast deployment and stowing of the three-section leg(s). This saves approximately 7-15 seconds of valuable set-up time for each respective stage of the competition.

The ZEISS Pro-Series Max-Duty Tripod has single-point leg adjustments for ultra-fast deployment of the inverted 3-section heavy duty carbon fiber legs designed for exceptional stability and compactness.  The Max-Duty Tripod is available with two ballhead options - a versatile (V-60), 60 mm ball head with tilt adjustments up to 115 degrees, or a low profile (L-55), 55 mm ball head with tilt adjustments up to 90 degrees. 

The V-60 ball head provides maximum versatility due to greater amount of tilt angle adjustments over multiple, compound directions. Resistance of head can be adjusted to individual preference for mounted device.  The L-55 ball head provides higher stability due to lower profile of head. 

The ZEISS Max-Duty Tripod has multiple ball head options for maximum utility. In addition to the versatile V-60 and low-profile V-55, a third quick access half ball head (Q-75) is available for increased flexibility of mounting optical devices. 

Additional features are listed on the Features page.
