Tripod 100 kg
Light-Duty Two-Stage Aluminium Tripod for 100 kg Payload Field Deployment
The Tripod 100 kg is a lightweight, rugged and foldable aluminium tripod designed for mounting sensor, camera and optical payloads up to 100 kg in field and tactical deployment environments. With two-stage height adjustment from 720 mm to 1350 mm, a self-weight of only 10 kg and swiveling feet for stable levelling on uneven terrain, it is built for rapid and accurate deployment across defence and surveillance applications.
What is the Tripod 100 kg?
The Tripod 100 kg is a foldable, two-stage aluminium tripod fabricated from aluminium alloy with stainless steel hardware where applicable. Each leg has a flat base with swiveling feet to accommodate irregular surfaces, and a spirit level bubble indicator is provided for accurate levelling in the field. A top-mounted interface plate enables direct integration with the payload. The unit is available in paint or powder coating finish per customer requirements. A mid level spreader is available as an accessory for additional structural stability.

Uneven Terrain Adaptability
Swiveling feet on each leg allow the tripod to conform to irregular, sloped or uneven ground surfaces without compromising platform stability. A built-in spirit level bubble indicator allows operators to accurately level the mounting platform at the deployment site, ensuring the payload is correctly oriented regardless of terrain conditions.
Two-Stage Height Adjustment
The Tripod 100 kg features a two-stage telescoping leg design that provides a continuous height range from a minimum of 720 mm to a maximum of 1350 mm, enabling operators to set the exact mounting height required for the payload and surveillance scenario. The folded height of 890 mm keeps the unit compact for transport and storage between deployments.
Direct Payload Interface and Mid Level Spreader
A top-mounted interface plate provides a standardised integration point for direct payload attachment, reducing setup time in the field. The optional mid level spreader accessory braces the legs at an intermediate point, adding lateral rigidity and improving overall structural stability for sustained or high-vibration deployment scenarios.
100 kg Rated Payload in a 10 kg Platform
At a self-weight of only 10 kg, the Tripod 100 kg delivers a high payload-to-platform-weight ratio, supporting mounted loads up to 100 kg without adding unnecessary carry weight for field teams. The aluminium alloy construction and stainless steel hardware combination ensures structural rigidity at rated capacity while keeping the overall unit light enough for man-portable deployment.
