Description
The Tricer BC V2 is built for hunters who live behind their glass and count every ounce in the pack. At 26.8 ounces it earns its spot on a deep backcountry trip, and the redesign packs about 25 percent slimmer in diameter and two inches shorter than the original, so it slides into a side pocket instead of hogging real estate on your frame. It tops out at 40 inches with the column up, which is the sweet spot for glassing from a seated position on a knob or ridge.
What Sets the BC V2 Apart
The inverted three-section leg design is the heart of this thing. The largest 1 1/8 inch section sits on the ground with a 1 inch middle and a 7/8 inch upper, which puts the stiffest carbon where the leverage is worst and keeps flex to a minimum. That translates to a stable platform for everything from lightweight binoculars to a big spotting scope, and it handles a rifle when you want a shooting rest. Load capacity is right around 26 pounds, so there is plenty of headroom for whatever optic you run.
Column Options and Quick Setup on the BC V2 Carbon Tripod
The patent-pending Tri-Tek removable center column is where the versatility lives. A glove-friendly cam lock lever lets you adjust height fast or pull the column entirely, dropping the tripod down to a minimum height around 3.2 inches so it lays flat for prone glassing or shooting. It ships with a short center column included for that low profile, and the updated quarter-turn twist locks sit up at the head for the quickest, smoothest deployment on the market. Three set screws under the head lock your optic down and keep it from rotating on you.
Backcountry Ready
The head mount uses the Arca-Swiss standard, so it plays nice with Tricer's own pan heads and just about any Arca setup in the hunting or photography world. There is even a built-in Allen key so you can tweak leg tension and set screws in the field without digging through your pack. For anyone chasing western big game or backpacking miles into the high country, this is a serious piece of kit that does not weigh you down.

Frequently Asked Questions
How small does the Tricer BC V2 pack down?
It folds to roughly 15 inches with the legs inverted, and the redesign made it about 25 percent slimmer in diameter than the original. The center column is smaller around than a Nalgene bottle, so the whole package tucks into a pack pocket without fighting for space. That is a big part of why it is popular for deep backpack hunts.
Can I use the BC V2 as a shooting rest for my rifle?
Yes. The inverted leg design and roughly 26-pound load capacity give it enough stability to support a rifle, and dropping the center column lets it lay flat for prone work. Add an Arca plate to your rifle or mount one of Tricer's dedicated shooting rests and you have a solid platform for both glassing and shooting.
What tripod heads work with the Tricer BC V2?
The BC V2 uses the Arca-Swiss standard at the head, so it pairs with Tricer's own pan heads like the LP or BP as well as most Arca-compatible heads and clamps. Three set screws under the head lock the head down tight and keep your optic from rotating. Keep in mind the tripod does not include a head, so you'll want to add one to complete the setup.
Is the BC V2 tall enough to glass standing up?
It is built for glassing from a seated position, with a 40-inch max height when the center column is extended. If you want a standing-height tripod from the same lineup, the taller Tricer AD is the better fit. For sit-and-glass sessions on a knob or ridge, the BC V2 is right in the sweet spot.
