The 1″ Freeland Tripod Scope Stand is designed for the larger and heavier spotting scopes that are in use today and has leveling knobs for un-even terrain adjustment. Freeland Tripod features quick adjustments, various rod diameters, terrain leveling abilities and a foldable stable platform. It is made of aluminum with a brown heavy duty powder coat finish. The new Universal Head Assemblies will work on all rods from 5/8” to 1.3” diameter making it adaptable for many other uses. It uses a universal channel mount on the heads which eliminates wobble or slop and has 3 inches of rod gripping power which is the most of any stand on the market. Each leg has a leveling knob so you can level the stand if you are un-even terrain which is common issue with outdoor shooting. The Pan Collar allows for full panoramic view allowing easy left and right adjustment without elevation loss. The Regal option gives you a fine up/down adjustment knob if desired, if you don’t need this option consider the L Mount or Ball Swivel as they are available without the Regal fine adjustment knob for less money.
* Each leg has independent adjustment for uneven ground.
* Large support area for more stability. Scope stand accessory weight is not necessary.
* Scopes can go lower to the ground. No problem with 45 degree scopes in the prone position.
