  • Tripod kite optics Ardea AL with Manfrotto 128 RC Head

    The Kite Optics Ardea AL + Manfrotto 128 RC tripod is a premium support designed for nature observation enthusiasts, demanding birdwatchers, and wildlife photographers. It stands out with its robust aluminum construction, exceptional stability, and a fluid Manfrotto head renowned for its precision.

    Developed to efficiently support high-powered binoculars, spotting scopes, and DSLR cameras, this tripod perfectly meets the needs of users seeking reliability, smooth movement, and comfort during field use.

    Outstanding stability for long-duration observation

    The Kite Optics Ardea AL tripod features a rigid aluminum structure capable of supporting loads up to 4 kg. This load capacity makes it an ideal support for terrestrial spotting scopes, binoculars mounted with an adapter, and professional optical equipment.

    The multi-section legs provide excellent vibration absorption, even during high-magnification observation. This stability is essential to fully exploit the optical performance of your instruments.

    Manfrotto 128 RC fluid head: Precision and comfort

    The integrated Manfrotto 128 RC fluid head offers exceptionally smooth panning and tilting movements. It is especially valued for tracking birds in flight, moving wildlife, or for precise panoramic sweeps.

    The quick-release plate allows you to attach and remove your equipment rapidly, saving valuable time in the field while ensuring secure mounting.

    Compact design and easy transport

    With a contained weight of only 2.2 kg, the Kite Ardea AL tripod is easy to carry during hikes, nature trips, or extended observation outings.

    When folded, it measures only 68 cm in length, making it easy to slip into a bag or attach to a backpack. A carrying case is included to protect the tripod during transport.

    Adjustable height for all situations

    The tripod offers a minimum height of 44 cm, ideal for low-angle observations or seated use. Its maximum height reaches 160 cm with the center column extended, allowing comfortable standing observation.

    Without extending the center column, the maximum height is 137 cm, ensuring optimal stability for demanding users.

    Reliable and ergonomic locking system

    The twist locks provide quick and secure adjustment of each leg section. This system is recognized for its durability and ease of use, even when wearing gloves.

    The variable leg angles allow perfect adaptation to uneven terrain, whether in forests, mountains, or on soft ground.

    Functional design and distinctive visual identity

    The design of the Kite Optics Ardea AL stands out with a sleek, technical, and modern aesthetic. The meticulous finishings reflect the premium DNA of the Kite Optics brand, renowned for the quality of its observation accessories.

    The integrated foam handle improves grip and comfort during handling in cold or damp conditions.

    Extended compatibility with optical equipment

    The tripod is equipped with a 3/8” and 1/4” top thread, ensuring broad compatibility with most spotting scopes, binoculars with adapter, and cameras on the market.

    It is a reference choice for users of Kite Optics spotting scopes, but also for many competing brands.

    A tripod designed for nature observation

    Whether for birdwatching, wildlife observation, digiscoping, or landscape photography, the Kite Ardea AL offers a reliable and durable solution, perfectly suited for intensive outdoor use.

    Its robust construction and 5-year manufacturer warranty demonstrate Kite Optics’s confidence in the durability of this tripod.
