Midas CF32 - Carbon Fiber Tripod (32mm tube) , Ball Head (44mm) , Soft sided carrying case , Accessories

The Athlon Optics Midas CF29 Carbon Fiber Tripod with its 44mm ball head is highly regarded as a strong contender in the mid-to-high range of tripods, particularly for hunting, shooting, and general outdoor observation. It's built with 10-layer vibration-dampening carbon fiber legs, offering a significant weight reduction and increased stability compared to aluminum alternatives. The included 44mm ball head features friction control, fluid pan control, and ball lock, with Arca-Swiss compatibility for direct attachment of rifles, optics, and other accessories. Users consistently praise its "rock-solid stability," light weight (around 5.5 lbs), and the comprehensive accessories included (tripod hammock, shoulder pad, sling, padded case, and optional spiked feet). While a few minor quality control issues have been noted (e.g., loose bubble levels, initial stiffness in legs), the general consensus is that it offers excellent value for its price point and performs exceptionally well in the field, often compared favorably to much more expensive brands.
