The Compact Table Top Tripod from Hawke Optics is a small table-top support designed for sport optics like spotting scopes and binoculars. Standing only 9.8" tall when in use, the tripod is ideal for use on a table or when lying prone and folds to just 12.6" for easy packing and transport. Its steel construction makes the tripod durable but, at 1.6 lb, doesn't add much weight.

The tripod features a simple twist-handle controlled pan and tilt head for basic vertical and horizontal movements. The head is equipped with a standard 1/4"-20 mounting thread for compatibility with most scopes, binoculars, and adapters.
