The Camera / Optics Stock was designed to give the user a light weight, portable, quick deployment means of steadying a camera, video camera, or optics such as a telescope or spotting scope. Although not as stable as a tripod, this device will greatly enhance the ease, use, and stability of your optical and camera equipment. The stock can collapse to just 10" in length and weighs only about 9 oz. It can extend to three different positions to match varying body sizes or clothing thickness. It uses a universal screw for mounting, so is compatible with any equipment designed to interface with a tripod. Constructed of black polymer with stainless steel hardware.
