Benefits of our Hoplite Tripod

Lightweight and Compact

Minimal weight and maximum versatility, accommodating platforms with limited footprint space.

Quick Detach with MagnaSwitch™

Attach rifles and optics in seconds, ideal for high-paced hunts. The system quickly connects to Spartan Classic, Optics and Binocular Adapters.

Rapid Leg Deployment

Quick primary incremental height adjustments with the Tac Leg upper section and additional adjustments with the lower, twist-lock leg section.

Integrated Ball Head

Integrated ball head with adjustable friction provides a stable base and a wide range of articulation, all while minimising weight.

Adapt to Diverse Terrain

Adapts to diverse terrains with four leg pitch positions. Three ground contact points ensure rock-solid stability on awkward and jagged rocky terrain for precise prone shooting.

Grip in Any Environment

Durable tungsten carbide tips with tethered synthetic boots to enhance grip on all terrains.

When I was told that the attachment system was the same as the Javelin Bipod, I was instantly sold. The Hoplite is lightweight and packable, but can hold a spotter and provide a shooting platform that negates the need for me to carry an extra bipod.

Great product and customer service

"I’ve been carrying the Hoplite for our entire deer season on my pack. Two bottom portions of two legs spun off while carrying. I recovered one and retraced thoroughly to find the other with no luck. Spartan’s customer service team responded promptly and replaced the entire leg for free within a week of contacting them ! I love all their products and run their bipods and now Hoplite on all my rifles. It’s a seamless system, lightweight but sturdy, and aesthetically pleasing to behold. Thanks Spartan for having my back."

— Trent (5/5)

Great product

"The Hoplite is a great alternative to my Javelin bipod. I needed a different platform for long still hunts and the Hoplite is the ticket. The supplied legs work extremely well and there are no issues swapping to the longer units I have been running with the Javelin. All in all another great product from Spartan."

— Zachary N. (5/5)

Most stable "bipod" ever

"I've almost entirely replaced carrying a bipod with this. Minimal weight/size increase but some incredible versatility and stability added. Let's me use the Ascent tripod for my optic/digisope to record shots while having an incredibly stable platform."

— Andrew J. (5/5)

Essential kit item

"The most versatile piece of equipment that should be in every serious hunters kit. Shoot prone, bench, bipod, angles, use as optics tripod, etc. Perfect carry on size for flights, and super light for packing. Total game changer that improves your stability and precision. 100% recommend!"

— Amy S. (5/5)

Tripod

"Great little tripod for shooting or spotting."

— Till (5/5)

Small but mighty

"Coming from the world of full-height/length tripods, it was easy to see the Hoplite as an incredible addition to my hunting kit. Sometimes, you simply don't need longer legs for your spotting scope or rifle. Sometimes, a smaller tripod footprint makes more sense in rocky terrain or where you can snug up against the terrain for a smaller profile. This tripod is sturdy, incredibly adjustable, and modular. Recently, at the range, I used the same tripod on the shooting bench while zeroing for both my rifle and then my spotting scope. It wasn't long before the range master came by and asked about it. I'm looking forward to taking this to aoudad country soon. Thank you Spartan Precision for making an excellent tool for the hunter!"

"Very happy with this product! Well built!"

Best shooting tripod

"The Spartan Hoplite is a game changer! I just got back from hunting Cantabrian chamois and landed a 480-meter shot resting on a rock. It’s super light, easy to set up, and adjusts in a snap. Seriously, it doesn’t get more stable than this. Huge thanks to Mr. G for making such an awesome product!"
