LensCoat Tripods

Tripods from LensCoat – when your telephoto finally gets a solid footing

Let’s be honest: You can want that tack-sharp image as much as you like – without a stable setup things quickly get shaky. This is exactly where the tripods from LensCoat come into play: well thought-out, robust, quiet to handle, and clearly geared towards nature, wildlife, and sports photography. No frills, just tools that simply work outdoors.

GroundPod ground tripod – extremely low, extremely stable

If you work with long focal lengths, love getting close to the ground and think “I bet I can go even lower”, then a GroundPod ground tripod from LensCoat is pretty much your thing. The flat design gives you perspectives right at eye level with birds, small animals, or ground-level sports – without sinking your gear into the mud.

The GroundPods are made from robust materials, glide smoothly over sand, grass, or snow, and reliably support even heavy telephoto lenses and gimbal heads. You can pull, push, or slightly lift them – depending on the surface – and still stay flexible in your image composition. Especially for wildlife photography, these ground tripods are a real game changer, because you can work unobtrusively and stably without constantly fiddling with the tripod.

Beanbag tripods in various sizes and designs

A classic tripod doesn’t always fit. Sometimes you’re sitting in the car, lying in a hide, or balancing on a hut with an uneven railing. That’s exactly what the beanbag tripods in various sizes and designs from LensCoat are made for.

These beanbags mold themselves to car windows, rocks, tree trunks, or railings and give your camera a surprisingly stable support – without any lengthy setup. Depending on the model, you can fill them with granulate, rice, or plastic pellets and thus adapt weight and damping to your needs. Ideal when you’re shooting spontaneously from the car or want to travel as light as possible.

With camouflage pattern – stay unobtrusive when it matters

Especially with shy animals, every reflective metal part of a tripod feels like too much. Many LensCoat tripod solutions therefore come with a camouflage pattern that visually blends well into forests, reeds, or rocky landscapes.

That’s not just a visual gimmick, but practical: you reflect less light, are less conspicuous, and can often get a bit closer to animals or birds without being spotted right away. And yes, it also looks pretty professional – a bit like a “field photographer” from a documentary, only for real.

Robust materials – built for the outdoors, not the studio

For its tripods and beanbags, LensCoat relies on robust materials that withstand moisture, dirt, and daily use in the field. The fabrics are abrasion-resistant, the seams are neatly finished, and the surfaces can generally be cleaned easily when mud, sand, or salt water are involved.

This isn’t made for the display cabinet, but for backpacks, trunks, and carry-on luggage. Many models are designed so that even after frequent filling, emptying, dragging across the ground, or leaning against rough surfaces, they retain their shape. In short: you don’t have to be gentle.

Perfect for travel – light, compact, flexible

If you’re on the road a lot – whether in a van, on a plane, or just traveling light – then LensCoat solutions are perfect for travel. Beanbag tripods can be transported empty and only filled on location, saving weight in your luggage. GroundPods are flat, fit easily into larger backpacks or bags, and are ready to use quickly without complicated setup.

Especially on photo trips where you don’t know what kind of surfaces to expect, this combination of small pack size and high stability is worth its weight in gold. You don’t have to set up the big three-legged tripod every time; instead you can react spontaneously – car, ground, rock, jetty, whatever.

Made in USA – thought through down to the last detail

Many LensCoat products are Made in USA – and you can tell from the details: decent zippers, solid loops, well-considered shapes that don’t look the way they do by accident. It’s obvious someone has sat freezing in a hide themselves before designing the product.

The combination of practical experience, durable materials, and functional design makes LensCoat tripods an exciting option for anyone who takes outdoor photography seriously – whether you’re just getting started in wildlife photography or have been out with big telephotos for years.
