Minox Tripod

• Stable support for observation optics: The 8.0 kg load capacity and swivelling tripod head give spotting scopes and binoculars a steady platform, helping reduce shake at higher magnifications where image movement becomes more noticeable.
• Wide working height range: With a height range from 170 mm to 1,570 mm, the tripod adapts to prone, seated and standing use, making it easier to observe comfortably from hides, hillsides or open ground.
• Secure footing on mixed terrain: Rubber feet and spiked feet let the tripod stay planted on hard surfaces as well as softer ground, which is useful when glassing in changing outdoor conditions.
• Portable aluminium construction: The aluminium build keeps weight to 1700.00 g, balancing field portability with the rigidity needed for clear, stable viewing.
• Compact folded format: A folded height of 560.00 mm makes the tripod easier to pack and transport, so it fits more naturally into hunting and observation kits.

About the Minox Tripods Series

The Minox Tripods series is built as a practical support line for observation optics used in hunting and outdoor fieldwork. Within the MINOX range, these tripods serve as dependable companions for spotting scopes and binoculars when a stable image matters more than absolute minimum weight. The series focuses on the essentials that make support equipment useful in real conditions: secure footing, adaptable working height, and straightforward handling.

Across the range, the design philosophy is functional rather than complicated. Multi-section legs allow compact transport, while terrain-oriented details such as rubber feet and spikes help the tripod stay planted on different surfaces. The series is intended for users who need a support that can move from vehicle-based observation to longer sessions in the field without becoming cumbersome. In practice, Minox Tripods are aimed at hunters, birders and general outdoor observers who want steadier viewing, easier target acquisition at high magnification and less fatigue during extended glassing sessions.

About the Minox Tripod

The Minox Tripod is a general-purpose support designed for field observation where stability and portability need to stay in balance. Its 1,570 mm maximum height gives enough reach for comfortable standing use, while the 170 mm minimum height also allows low setups when working from uneven ground, behind cover or from a seated position. That broad adjustment range makes it useful for spotting scopes in hunting optics setups as well as for binocular observation over longer periods.

The tripod uses a swivelling head, which helps with controlled panning and easier repositioning when tracking movement across open terrain. A 1/4 inch mounting head keeps it compatible with a wide range of optics and accessories that use the common tripod interface. Its 3-section legs fold down to 560.00 mm, so the tripod is easier to carry and stow than a fixed-length design, yet still opens to a practical working height in the field.

Build quality is centred on durability and usable support. The carbon fibre / aluminium construction provides a rigid platform while keeping total weight to 1.7 kg, which is light enough for regular transport but substantial enough to steady larger observation optics. The combination of rubber and spiked feet improves grip on both hard and soft ground, helping maintain image stability when magnification amplifies even small vibrations. With an 8.0 kg maximum load, the tripod is well suited to heavier spotting scope setups that need a secure base for sharp viewing.

About Minox

MINOX GmbH was founded in Wetzlar, Germany, in 1945, and the company is closely associated with precision optics and compact optical design. Its roots reach back to engineer Walter Zapp, who designed the first MINOX miniature-camera prototype in 1936. Over time, MINOX expanded from that heritage into sport optics and today develops binoculars, spotting scopes, riflescopes, night-vision devices and wildlife cameras.

MINOX entered the sport-optics market in the 1990s and strengthened its position in hunting and observation equipment with products such as the ZP riflescope series. The company joined the Blaser Group in 2013 and relocated to Isny, Germany, on February 1, 2020. In the optics market, MINOX is known for combining practical field-oriented design with the mechanical precision expected from a German brand.
