Help Identifying Spartan/Gearing Tripod

[WYO_Mountain_Man]

New forum member, but have been lurking for a while. I was wondering if anyone could give me information on this tripod.

Some parts of it match or look identical to the Spartan Precision Tripods (and it even came with Spartan Precision trekking pole handles), but other parts (especially the center column) look different than anything I've seen from Spartan. The ball head looks identical to the Gen 2 Davros Pro Head to me except it has an arca-swiss mount instead of the MagnaSwitch one.

I looked up the Gearing Co, and it looks like they sell an almost identical (if not completely identical) tripod to Spartan, but marketed for photographers instead of hunters? https://www.gearingco.com/collections/tripods/products/gearing-tripod But this tripod doesn't exactly match what they show on their website either.

Anyway, if anybody has insights, I'd love to hear them. I'm really curious if other Spartan Precision parts would fit this tripod (like the normal/smaller center-column), or if this is an old/weird model. @Happy Antelope, would love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks!

Those are camera tripods made by Rob, they don't go prone and are not near the same quality carbon, etc as the rifle tripods. The old one were sold by Leica, we sell the new ones, but beware they are made for a camera, carbon is cheap and don't think it would do well to be shooting off of.

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the info! Do you happen to have the official name or somewhere I can see the specs on it? I'd be curious to know what weight capacity it supports if the carbon is cheaper. I might still use it for a wildlife photography setups if it could handle heavy cameras.

Also, if I bought the snow baskets, claw feet, and/or spike feet from your website, would they fit on this? Would the Spartan Multi-Tool fit as a center-column replacement if I wanted a shorter/lighter one?

Thanks for taking the time to respond.
