Expert Insights
The TRICER-LP Backcountry Pan Head has been PROVEN by our staff throughout North America since its release in early 2023. This ultralight pan head easily enhances the future hunt experiences of anyone who upgrades to it due to its feather-weight, ease of use, and reliability. At only 4.5 oz, there arguably isn't a better product (certainly not at a better price point) to best serve the ultralight-minimalist hunter amidst the roughest and most remote terrain.
This product is a "no-brainer" for those who glass with binoculars, compact spotting scopes, and full-size spotting scopes up to the 85mm objective range. With some 85mm objective lenses are larger, it can become cumbersome to pan and tilt effectively due to the weight and leverage of those sized optics when moving through your glassing sequence.
