Hog Saddle Carbon Fiber Pig Lite Tripod LW Extreme 44mm 88lb ball complete kit

Purchase
Description
Coming in at 5lbs 12 oz total weight. This is our lightest precision tripod kit. It pretty much clicks all the boxes for the serious hunter and or precision shooter.
This Fox Optic kit combines Shadow Techs ultra-durable and lightweight Carbon Fiber PIGlite-CF4 tripod with their Mod7 Hog Saddle and the lightweight, yet ultra-smooth action of the Sunwayfoto GNN XB44-DL 88lb rated ball head. This kit offers the best in low weight and extreme control. If you are looking for slightly better, extreme long-range control and don't care about weight savings, be sure to check out the Aluminum kits. (While heavier, the XB52 Extreme aluminum kit is my favorite for precision.)

PIGlite-CF4 Carbon Fiber Tripod
"Shadow Tech's Lightest Tripod"
*PIGlite-CF4 tripod is sold as the tripod legs alone. A Saddle or ball head would be an additional purchase.
The PIGlite-CF4 Carbon Fiber Tripod is a great match for the outdoor enthusiast who is looking to shed pounds when ounces matter most. With the backpacker and outdoorsman in mind, the PIGlite-CF4 maintains user-specific features of the PIG0311-G Field Tripod, while saving weight where it counts. Compatible with both ball heads, and directly mounting the Shadow Tech, LLC HOG Saddle® or PIG Saddle®, the PIGlite-CF4 is a great tripod option for those looking to gain that edge in the field. From glassing hillsides to operating in confined spaces, the PIGlite-CF4 will excel in creating a stable tripod shooting platform.
Features:
- Lightweight aluminum body, four-section 28mm carbon fiber legs with adjustable cam levers (8 layers of carbon fiber).
- The short center column allows the shooter to get all the way down to an 8” prone position.
- A removable, load-bearing hook has been added to the bottom of the center column to hang weight, such as a backpack. The added weight will greatly increase tripod stability.
- The center column can fully rotate 365°. This is a great feature for those who intend to direct mount a PIG Saddle® or HOG Saddle®gun rest to the PIG0311-G tripod.
- The tripod’s feet incorporate interchangeable rubber or spiked feet (Yes, the spiked feet are included).

GNN XB-44DL
Low-Profile Ball Head with Duo-lever Clamp
The new GNN XB-44DL is the perfect balance between weight, load capacity, and super low-profile height. These ball head specs are unmatched. The GNN XB-44DL is ideal for weight-conscious individuals who still require a full-featured ball head. We made the XB-44 even shorter by machining off the neck of the ball head (creating the proprietary GNN series). This reduces damaging stress/leverage to internal parts, increases stability, yet still allows for 23° of elevation adjustment, with approximately 48° of total vertical travel. Our GNN XB-44DL Low-Profile Ball Head with Duo-Lever Clamp is based on the original XB-44, and we replaced the Screw-Knob Clamp with DLC-50 Screw/Lever Combo Clamp. The screw knob side now provides initial adjustment of the width of the clamp, while the lever side allows the user to quickly lock or unlock the clamp. The XB-44DL Low Profile Ball Head is the smaller of two ball heads in the XB line of low profile ball heads. It features a very low center of gravity, a very high load capacity of 88 lbs, and an improved ball head design for smoother movements when changing position.
- Locking System located on the side rather than the bottom of the ball head, lowering the entire center of gravity by more than 15%. Adopts a geared locking structure, and higher locking strength.
- Specially designed panning base, smooth operation.
- Elliptical ball for progressive resistance and avoiding suddenly sliding down.
- All metal knobs for reliability and long term durability.
- Special structure makes it the lightest of its class. 360° panning movement with calibrated precision, precisely capture overlapping panoramic images.
- Compatible with Really Right Stuff (RRS), Wimberley, Jobu Design, Arca Swiss, Kirk Enterprises, Markins, Photo Clam, etc.
- Ideal for Gitzo, SLIK, Manfrotto, Sirui, Benro, RRS tripods.
