The QDT V2 Tripod is truly a gamers tripod. This Tripod is sole purpose is to give those shooters a competitive edge when shooting matches. It features a quick deployment system with 2 leg sections and new racheting locking tabs for even faster deployment. The new V2 series offers a more packable tripod by reducing the center section to allow users to use either their current exsisting ballhead or any common ballhead on the market. By reducing the center section we were able to have a weight reduction of about 1lb off of the current QDT tripod. The QDT V2 now features out new leg stopper system which does not allow your tripod leg to cross in between the other legs when closing and transporting the tripod.
