BT-20 Ridge Warden Ball Tilt Head

The BT-20 Ridge Warden "Ball Tilt" head is the brain child of a "what if" question. What if there was a head that worked great for glassing and shooting? We answered that question with the Ridge Warden. The Ridge Warden is essentially a ball head but with a novel mechanism to lock the ball into a tilt only axis for efficient glassing; allowing it to function like a panhead. But this mechanism can be bypassed to "orbit" the ball like a normal ball head; allowing it to tilt off axis and level a rifle for a shot.

HEAVY HITTING FLYWEIGHT
Weighing in as little as 3.3oz (Lightest configuration w/o Carbon Handle) the Ridge Warden is the lightest head we've ever made; and we've done this all while maintaining a level of optical stability, smoothness and damping you would only expect from heads several times it's size, leaving plenty of strength for medium size spotters and light weight rifles.

MASTERFULLY MULTIFUNCTIONAL
Saving weight in your pack is just as much about multi-functional gear as it is about the specific weight of your gear. With the Ridge Warden you gain an effective glassing and shooting platform from one ultralight package. Additionally we took lessons learned from our Nighthawk and built this head with a highly adjustable carbon handle allowing you to tailor the ergonomics to your preferences and packability of your specific tripod.

SMOOTH EXPERIENCE
Applying lessons learned from our highly popular Nighthawk and the introduction of some new technologies, we were able to give this head the smooth damping feel in both the tilt and pan axes that give you the capabilities to efficiently and comfortably glass for extended periods of time.
