2021 Vortex Summit Carbon II ***Updated 7/7/21***

[Jared Bloomgren]

Happy to be testing the new 2021 Vortex Summit Carbon II. It’s been a few years since I tested a carbon tripod from Vortex that was pulled from production so I’m excited to give a new one a go!

Summit Carbon II

Built for backcountry hunters, it collapses into a compact, packable size. The detachable center column adds flexibility for taller shots or low-angle glassing, delivering support for the toughest hunts, all without weighing you down.

Vortex Summit Carbon II Review

Will be super interested how people like all these new options, they look pretty good on paper.

have you had a chance to do much with it yet?

I like the specs on it, and rated to hold 20 pounds, I bet you could shoot of it in a pinch.

I haven’t had a chance to use it a ton yet. I was a bit skeptical at first for using my large spotter but it has done a great job this far.

Jared's review is complete on this tripod. Give it a read to see if it should be added to your pack this fall.

Really liking mine! The head isn't anything special, IMO, so I put a Micro Panhead on it. Really great setup that way. Paired it with a Kowa 553.

How do you like your Kowa? I recently sold my Leupold pro-guide sx-4 spotter because the eye relief was terrible and it was a brick to carry around.

Incredible little spotter! I ended up selling to bump up to the 773. I have an upcoming sheep hunt that I wanted a little more glass for.
