While this isn’t exactly a new item, it’s going to be new to many readers. Last May, the US Army issued NSNs for a new tripod kit from Really Right Stuff to update the old sniper kits.
The Sniper Tripod Advanced Kit (NSN: 1005-01-702-7501) consists of tripod, high-performance ball head, versatile clamps, and adaptable mounts as well as a carrying bag.
The core of this Made in the USA Kit is the RRS tripod which features carbon fiber legs which are both light and strong. The tripod can instantly transition from ground level to standing using their pull tabs. It features four leg sections meaning it can be made quite compact for travel, and will sustain a load of up to 80 pounds.
