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.

Premium Craftsmanship

Precision crafted from silicone, 7075 aluminum and premium carbon-fiber, striking a balance between lightweight design, corrosion resistance, and robust strength. Ideal for rugged backcountry use.

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!"

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!"

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!"
