Product Overview
PIG0311-G Field Tripod, Gen 2 and Sunwayfoto FB-52 ARCA ballhead. Complete.
"The Grunt of Tripods"
The PIG0311-G Field Shooting Tripod is based off of the budget friendly and capable SLIK DX700 PRO tripod. We partnered up with SLIK, and started putting together several prototypes with beefed up specs, tighter tolerances, and shooter specific features. After 8 months of testing , we came up with the PIG0311 Field Shooting Tripod. During testing, we used several .50 caliber rifles (Barrett M107 & McMillan Tac50) with great results from officer feedback and reported repeatable shot placement. Being unsure of what kind of garage cannon that might be placed on the tripod itself, we decided on a conservative 34 pound load rating. The PIG0311-G was designed for the active outdoorsman; meant to get dirty, thrown in trucks, and used outside often. Paired with a direct mounted HOG Saddle® or PIG Saddle®, this shooting tripod can do almost anything a more expensive tripod kit can do, but at a fraction of the cost.

The FB-52 Ball Head with Screw-Knob Locking Quick Release Clamp from Sunwayfoto is an Arca-type compatible head with a load capacity of 44.1 lb, making it capable of supporting mirrorless to large format cameras. It features an adjustable friction control dial located on the side of the ball head's main control knob, so more drag may be applied to the ball when repositioning a heavier camera on the head and helps prevent the camera from flopping over when loosened.
The Arca-type compatible head comes with a screw-knob locking clamp for securely attaching compatible quick release plates and brackets.
The 1.5 lb aluminum head has a cut notch on the side, which allows the ball to vertically tilt 90°, and it pans a full 360° by unlocking the separate independent panning lock. The panning base and the quick release receiver both feature an engraved scale for precise and repeatable positioning. Additionally, the FB-52 Ball Head can mount onto a tripod via the 3/8"-16 female thread, but an adapter bushing can also be utilized to accommodate a 1/4"-20 size. The bubble level, located on the side of the clamp, ensures that your horizon is level every time.
