Top Rated: GPN Media Scrambler UL Modular Trekking Tripod (8.1 / 10)
Category: Ultralight Trekking Tripod
GPN Media sum up the Scrambler very nicely: The Scrambler Ultralight Modular Tripod is an all metal, ultralight yet highly durable modular tripod kit for extreme outdoor pursuits; a quick release, column and ball head for the Novoflex Micropod and other lightweight mini tripod bases.
The Scrambler's dual cube mount, optional 4th leg stabilising component in combination with the Novoflex Micropod make for a rather unique and capable tripod for trekkers, climbers and even mountaineers. Easily attaching to the outside of most packs and adding just 166g to ones "on-the-shoulder" pack weight, it's competitive with even the cheap flexi-tripods. The base and 4th leg components are very quick to attach and release yet provide a secure and reliable connection when attached. The base (tripod legs) and the 4th leg have a combined weight of 122g and are small enough to fit in belt, camera or bum bags and jacket pockets.
The Scrambler is a genuinely green product. GPN Media purposefully designed the Scrambler around a series of high quality "building-block" components from well-established photo-video brands such as SmallRig, Minifocus, Selens, Camvate, Highlights and others. This modular, component approach means, unlike the disposable cheap flexi-tripods, the Scrambler has longevity built-in. Should any component break or get lost, you can always simply replace the part you need. For those that need to take high quality images on awkward terrain, in demanding conditions, the Scrambler Ultralight Modular Tripod is our top pick in the Ultralight Trekking Tripod category.
