The heaviest spotting scopes, large binoculars, and imaging rigs demand a tripod that simply doesn't move — vibration-damping, wind resistance, and load capacity that smaller legs can't deliver. The Midas CF40 is the flagship of the Midas CF line — 40 mm 10-layer carbon fiber legs supporting 88 lbs at 8.4 lbs, built for the most demanding field and competition setups where absolute stability is non-negotiable.

Key Features

• 10-Layer Carbon Fiber, 40 mm Legs — The thickest legs in the Midas lineup deliver maximum rigidity and vibration dampening while staying significantly lighter than an equivalent aluminum build. 8.4 lbs total weight.
• 88 lb Load Capacity — Supports heavy rifles, large spotting scopes, night vision setups, and professional camera systems without creep or flex.
• Dual Head System — Includes a ball head with Arca-Swiss quick-release plate and a separate leveling head with bowl mount. The ball head offers independent friction control and fluid pan lock for smooth tracking. The leveling head uses a 3/8" stud for one-hand adjustment on rifles and larger attachments.
• Multi-Axis Leveling — Dual circular bubble levels on the tripod and ball head let you establish a solid, level foundation before fine-tuning with the head.
• 71" Max / 10" Min Height — Full standing height down to prone or ground-level positions. Legs adjust to three angle stops (80°, 55°, 25°) for rapid height and stance changes.
• High-Tension Twist Locks — Secure grip on all four leg sections with quick, one-handed adjustment.
• Multi-Terrain Feet — Rubber feet for hard surfaces; included spiked feet screw in for grip on dirt, snow, or soft ground.
• Counterweight Hook — Hang a pack or weight from the center column to dampen vibrations in wind.
• MOLLE Leg Wraps & Tripod Hammock — Attach pouches to the leg wraps and stow gear (rangefinders, magazines, accessories) in the hammock between the legs.
• Complete Kit, No Add-Ons — Ships ready to use with the ball head, leveling head, Arca-Swiss clamp, spiked feet, shoulder sling, shoulder pad, MOLLE leg wraps, tripod hammock, and padded carrying case. No separate head, plate, or case purchases needed.

Ideal For

• Precision rifle and PRS shooters who need a tripod that won't flex under heavy rigs — the 88 lb capacity and 40 mm carbon legs handle bolt guns, chassis rifles, and night-vision-equipped setups with room to spare.
• Spotting scope users who want smooth fluid panning for tracking targets at long range, plus Arca compatibility for fast scope swaps.
• Hunters and guides who glass from elevated positions — 71" max height means comfortable standing use, and the spiked feet hold firm on uneven terrain.
• Wildlife photographers and birders who need vibration-free stability for heavy telephoto lenses and value the fluid pan for tracking subjects.
