Tricer LP (panhead)

[JakeSCH]

Tricer is releasing their new panhead next month, got my pre-order in. I was fortunate enough to test out a prototype of this panhead on a couple local hunts with SLC 15x56's on top and I will say it is something special.

Drew hit a homerun with this design, highly recommend it for anyone looking for a light weight panhead.

Tricer-LP

Designed for the western big game hunter. The Tricer-LP is the ultralight solution to backcountry glassing. It's the lightest pan head on the market and is as smooth as butter. The Tricer-LP is the gold standard for optics stabilization.

I ordered one to compare with my Nighthawk. Curious to see which I prefer. Was extremely impressed with Nighthawk last year.

I wonder what the weight limit would be.? Could it handle the kowa 77?

From when I messed with it I have no doubt it could handle my 883, I just had an outdoorsman plate and not an arca so I couldn't test it.

Yeah I would be interested in that comparison as well.

Looks pretty sweet. My smallrig was a huge disappointment so hoping this one fits the bill.

My Nighthawk handled my 85 STX very well. I have the Kowa 88S now and weight is about the same. I’ll throw heads on different tripods and run em side by side and check out binos and spotters.

I saw this on their Facebook page and I am very interested. Couple things, I'd be interested in real world experience as to how it handles a 85 MM Spotter. Also, I only see one locking device. Is the Pan and Tilt tensioned/locked by the one lever, or does the handle tension the tilt and lever tension the pan? and video reviews out there?

I hope you guys can post up some videos when you get it. Really hoping to see some in action videos. I really want to try one of these lightweight heads.

They charged me today so hopefully it’s shipping soon

Drew they got a small shipment early so they will be sending out just the first 20 or so pre-orders.

He had it at a local archery shoot this weekend. There are some videos on tricers instagram.

See above about instagram. one lever for pan and the handle is twist to lock tilt.

Bummer, I like to ditch the handle to save weight. Can’t do that if it’s used to tension tilt.

@willfrye027 I got mine earlier today. You won't be disappointed.

@BATTLEBORN the handle doesn't even weigh an ounce.

I'm stoked, mine shipped yesterday. Their trekking poles are very nice too, got a pair recently

Wow, that’s awesome. Have you or anyone put a 85mm spotter on it?

 

[Morgan1776]

I have not.

 

[Cameron.25]

Wow this thing is nice and smooth! Crazy light. Handles my kowa 88 with an extender just fine too
