PIG0311-G Field Tripod

"The Grunt of Tripods"

NEW PRICING for 2023: Due to price increases on raw materials, we unfortunately had to modify our retail pricing. To make up for this price increase, we doubled the strength of the leg stop shims, and updated the leg locks to be user adjustable. The new leg locks are stronger and increase the load rating to 34 lbs. All other features will remain the same. 

*PIG0311-G shooting tripod is sold as the tripod legs alone. A Saddle or ball head would be an additional purchase.*

The PIG0311-G Field Shooting Tripod is based off of the budget friendly and capable SLIK DX700 PRO tripod. We partnered up with SLIK, and started putting together several prototypes with beefed up specs, tighter tolerances, and shooter specific features. After 8 months of testing , we came up with the PIG0311 Field Shooting Tripod. During testing, we used several .50 caliber rifles (Barrett M107 & McMillan Tac50) with great results from officer feedback and reported repeatable shot placement. Being unsure of what kind of garage cannon that might be placed on the tripod itself, we decided on a conservative 34 pound load rating. The PIG0311-G was designed for the active outdoorsman; meant to get dirty, thrown in trucks, and used outside often. Paired with a direct mounted HOG Saddle® or PIG Saddle®, this shooting tripod can do almost anything a more expensive tripod kit can do, but at a fraction of the cost.

GNN EB-52 Ball Head

The best bang for the buck, 44 lbs load rating & 1.48 lbs overall weight.

The Sunwayfoto GNN FB-52 is the strongest model of the FB series ball heads. It exemplifies the customary principle of simplicity. It's easy-to-carry, easy-to-operate, and provides customers with stable and smooth user experience. This ball head is exquisitely machined from T6061 aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, with Type-III hard-anodized finish. Compared with other models of the same series, the GNN FB-52 has the highest load rating and largest ball joint diameter for extended service life. We made the FB-52 even shorter by machining off the neck of the ball head (creating the GNN series). This reduces damaging stress/leverage to internal parts, increases stability, & still allows for 22° of elevation adjustment. Approximately 46° of total vertical travel.
