The Kite Ardea carbon fibre tripod is specially designed for birdwatchers and the dimensions are a result of field experience. Because of the long and very rigid 100% carbon fibre legs, the scope can be raised to a usable height without the use of the central column. This provides maximum viewing stability.
In combination with the carbon fibre legs, the Kite Ardea CF tripod also features magnesium components which improve the total weight and strength of the tripod.
The very durable twist locks offer the best grip and keep the legs in place. As an advantage to the conventional flip locks, twist locks are faster to operate. They also allow the user to easily disassemble the legs for cleaning.

Having used, Slik, Velbon, Manfrotto over the years, I can honestly say that the Kite Ardea Carbon tripod is the best I have used for birding. I was after Gitzo, but the high price put me off them. The Kite are more than enough for my Swarovski ATX 85mm. I paired it with a Manfrotto MVH500AH head that I already owned. I would highly recommend it.
