KJI K500 Aluminum Hunting Tripod

The K500 is KJI's light aluminum tripod. Security Pro positions it for a hunter or instructor who needs a packable rest, not a platform for a 30 lb rifle and optic.

• Rated 80 lb in the tallest leg position
• Weighs 3.1 lb
• Four aluminum sections, twist locks, hard-anodized
• Tallest setup 53.9 in. Lowest in the first angle is 17.8 in. Near-flat leg angle gets you to about 3 in
• Leg angles 23°, 55°, and 83°
• Folds to 19.1 in
• Rubber feet, spike feet in the bag, 3/8"-16 top
• SKU KJ85006

Step up to the K700 if the rifle and glass weigh more than this head can honestly hold. Heads and the Reaper grip are separate. KJI marks the K-series under U.S. export rules. Agency orders should state the end user. See KJI tripods and hunting.

Questions

What load is the K500 actually for?

KJI rates it at 80 pounds in the tallest leg position. Security Pro does not quote it for a heavy rifle and optic. Step up to the K700 when the load is a real rifle setup.

Does the K500 include a ball head?

No. The box is the aluminum tripod, feet, and spikes. The Nomad, Titan, Deathlocc, and Reaper Grip are separate. It folds to 19.1 inches and weighs 3.1 pounds.
