Tricer Bp-Fh-1 Tricer Bp

The Tricer BP tripod head is built for serious glassing—whether you're scanning ridge lines for mule deer, glassing basins for elk, or setting up a spotting scope for long-range shooting. Weighing just 12.3 ounces, this fluid pan head delivers the smooth, predictable movement you need to track game and glass methodically without jerky transitions that spook distant animals. The design prioritizes balance between weight and stability, making it equally at home on western big-game hunts where you're covering lots of terrain or at the range where precision matters.

The BP handles optics up to 15 pounds, so whether you're running a high-magnification spotting scope, a quality pair of binos on a mount, or even a compact rifle scope system, the head has you covered. Adjustment happens through large-diameter knobs and smooth bearings—no fiddly levers or awkward grips. The extendible carbon fiber handle gives you reach without adding significant weight, and the 360-degree pan with +90/-90 tilt range lets you work vertically and horizontally without repositioning your tripod. A built-in bubble level helps you dial in true horizon for consistent, comfortable glassing sessions. The head mounts via a standard 3/8-16 base with both 1/4-20 and Arca Swiss clamp options, making it compatible with most quality tripod legs.

If you glass a lot—or plan to—the Tricer BP raises the standard. It's the kind of piece that disappears into your hunt routine; you stop thinking about your gear and start focusing on finding game.

Frequently Asked Questions

What spotting scope or optical setup will this head support?

The BP is rated for optics and mounts up to 15 pounds total. That covers most spotting scopes, binocular mounts, compact rifle scope systems, and rangefinder rigs. Weigh your specific setup to confirm it falls within the limit.

How does this attach to a tripod?

The Tricer BP uses a 3/8-16 base mount and includes both a 1/4-20 and an Arca Swiss clamp, so it's compatible with standard tripod leg sockets and Arca Swiss quick-release systems.

Is the fluid pan smooth enough for long glassing sessions?

Yes—the BP is specifically engineered for extended glassing. The fluid pan design and smooth bearings prevent the stuttering and grinding you get with cheaper pan heads, and the large adjustment knobs let you dial tension to your preference without fatigue.

What's included with the Tricer BP head?

The head ships with the pan head unit, extendible carbon fiber handle, and both 1/4-20 and Arca Swiss clamp mounting options. It does not include a tripod; you'll mount it on your own tripod legs via the 3/8-16 base.
