Whether navigating the challenging terrain of backcountry hunting in the mountains, embarking on thermal night runs in pursuit of pigs, or competing in a Precision Rifle Series (PRS) match, this tripod has consistently delivered outstanding stability within its compact design. Notably, its smaller and more compact center section contributes to weight reduction and enhances overall packability. This versatile tripod has proven itself valuable for various applications, including glassing with spotting scopes and providing a solid platform for shooting with rifles weighing nearly 20 pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Table of contents<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-the-kit-specifications\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"getting-down-and-dirty-with-the-kit-from-two-vets-tripods\" title=\"Getting Down and Dirty with \"The Kit\" from Two Vets Tripods\" data-level=\"2\">The Kit Specifications:<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-legs\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"getting-down-and-dirty-with-the-kit-from-two-vets-tripods\" title=\"Getting Down and Dirty with \"The Kit\" from Two Vets Tripods\" data-level=\"2\">Legs<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-locks\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"getting-down-and-dirty-with-the-kit-from-two-vets-tripods\" title=\"Getting Down and Dirty with \"The Kit\" from Two Vets Tripods\" data-level=\"2\">Locks<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-adjustments-for-the-kit\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"getting-down-and-dirty-with-the-kit-from-two-vets-tripods\" title=\"Getting Down and Dirty with \"The Kit\" from Two Vets Tripods\" data-level=\"2\">Adjustments For The Kit<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-feet\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"getting-down-and-dirty-with-the-kit-from-two-vets-tripods\" title=\"Getting Down and Dirty with \"The Kit\" from Two Vets Tripods\" data-level=\"2\">Feet<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-head\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"getting-down-and-dirty-with-the-kit-from-two-vets-tripods\" title=\"Getting Down and Dirty with \"The Kit\" from Two Vets Tripods\" data-level=\"2\">Head<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-the-kit-portability\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"getting-down-and-dirty-with-the-kit-from-two-vets-tripods\" title=\"Getting Down and Dirty with \"The Kit\" from Two Vets Tripods\" data-level=\"2\">The Kit Portability<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-the-kit-s-performance\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"getting-down-and-dirty-with-the-kit-from-two-vets-tripods\" title=\"Getting Down and Dirty with \"The Kit\" from Two Vets Tripods\" data-level=\"2\">The Kit&#8217;s Performance<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-summary\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"getting-down-and-dirty-with-the-kit-from-two-vets-tripods\" title=\"Getting Down and Dirty with \"The Kit\" from Two Vets Tripods\" data-level=\"2\">Summary<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-kit-specifications\">The Kit Specifications:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Weight: 3 lbs 6 oz<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leg Sections: 4 \/ 3 Twist Locks&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Main Tube Diameter: 30MM Main Tube<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Collapsed Height: 22.5 Inches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deployed Height: 65.5 Inches&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leg Adjustment Tabs: Racheting Ears&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Twist Locks: 1\/4 Turn Twist Locks&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Integrated Spikes In Feet: No&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Head Options: Ballhead&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What&#8217;s Included: Tripod &amp; Rubber Feet&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Max Weight Rating: 44lbs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Infographic-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Getting Down and Dirty with &quot;The Kit&quot; from Two Vets Tripods\" class=\"wp-image-194880\" title=\"3 - Getting Down and Dirty with \" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Infographic-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Infographic-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Infographic-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Infographic-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Infographic.jpg 853w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Picture taken from the Two Vets Tripods website<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-legs\">Legs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Kit by Two Vets Tripods is designed with four segments for each leg. This allows the tripod to pack down into a compact 22.5&#8243; or extend to a usable height of 65&#8243;. Standing at over 6 feet tall, I&#8217;ve discovered that this tripod fulfills all my needs and extends taller than other compact tripods. The legs are made from carbon fiber and feel quite rigid providing a great strength-to-weight ratio. Unlike some cheaper carbon fiber tripod legs with thinner sidewalls, The Kit employs a thicker 30mm main tube to enhance overall rigidity. For this reason, it can easily support heavy rifle setups and is rated up to 44 pounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9770-1-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Getting Down and Dirty with &quot;The Kit&quot; from Two Vets Tripods\" class=\"wp-image-194876\" title=\"Getting Down and Dirty with \" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9770-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9770-1-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9770-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9770-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9770-1.jpg 1362w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Carbon fiber legs easily supporting a nearly 20lb pound rifle setup<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-locks\">Locks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Each section features a twist lock mechanism for adjusting the tripod&#8217;s height. These locks are made from metal, and only take about a third of a rotation to unlock the leg extensions. The locks crank down tight and hold everything wherever it has been set. Throughout my testing, I never had these slip on me. However, my sole critique lies in their lack of substantial texturing, making them a bit slippery and challenging to grip when wearing cloth gloves. While I prefer a lever system for locking, these twist locks offer a more compact and lightweight alternative. Ideally, incorporating some rubber on these locks would enhance their usability in various conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9868-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Metal leg locks for The Kit\" class=\"wp-image-194881\" title=\"Getting Down and Dirty with \" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9868-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9868-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9868-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9868-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9868.jpg 1505w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Metal leg locks for The Kit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adjustments-for-the-kit\">Adjustments For The Kit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Near the head of the tripod, at the top of the legs, you&#8217;ll find angle locks that regulate the width of the tripod&#8217;s base.

This larger ball head worked great. I am a big fan of the layout of the tension adjustment knobs. It utilizes a ball head with dual adjustment, having a large knob for coarse adjustment and a smaller knob for fine adjustment. The ball head is smooth and provides a constant level of resistance when panning and maneuvering a rifle no matter the orientation depending on the tension set. The rotation of the head itself is also very smooth with no noticeable rock or creep.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9774-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Fine tune adjustments for the ball head (top) and the rotation (bottom)\" class=\"wp-image-194872\" title=\"Getting Down and Dirty with \" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9774-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9774-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9774-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9774-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9774.jpg 1533w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fine tune adjustments for the ball head (top) and the rotation (bottom)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9769-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Large tension adjustment knob for the ball head\" class=\"wp-image-194878\" title=\"3 - Getting Down and Dirty with \" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9769-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9769-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9769-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9769-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9769.jpg 1432w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Large tension adjustment knob for the ball head<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The included Area 419 Arcalock was a nice touch, and never allowed my varying rifle setups or spotting scope to slide around.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-kit-portability\">The Kit Portability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, The Kit was designed to be a true hybrid tripod that was good for everything from backcountry hunting to using at a PRS match and I did both with it. I spent a week living out of a backpack in the snow between 10,000 and 12,000 feet searching for elk, and the tripod fit into my Eberlestock Team Elk V2 back without an issue. While potentially excessive for just a spotting scope, The Kit serves as a sturdy foundation for a rifle setup. The noticeable weight of around 5 lbs, especially with the addition of a ball head, was outweighed by the perceived benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9804-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The Kit fitting in nicely into my Eberlestock Team Elk V2 pack\" class=\"wp-image-194871\" title=\"Getting Down and Dirty with \" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9804-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9804-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9804-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9804-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-9804.jpg 1441w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Kit fits in nicely into my Eberlestock Team Elk V2 pack<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, during a week-long camping and hiking adventure in Iceland, I managed to barely squeeze The Kit into my suitcase.

When he\u2019s not in the field or on the range, Mitchell works as a full-time Mechanical Engineer in the Aerospace and Defense industry and manages a part-time farming operation. Whether he\u2019s behind a rifle, designing parts, or working the land, his drive for precision and performance remains the same.
