SUNWAYFOTO Carbon Fiber Tripods – IB-40 vs IB-65:
Which One’s Right for You?
When it comes to long-range shooting or glassing in the veld, stability isn’t optional — it’s essential. That’s where the SUNWAYFOTO TL3230CM Carbon Fiber Tripod with Lever Locks stands out.
Built with 32mm carbon fiber tubes, a hollowed-out apex, and a load rating of 30kg, this tripod delivers the rigidity serious marksmen demand.
At Patriot Outdoors South Africa, we stock two versions: the IB-40 and the IB-65. Both share the same foundation, but each is designed for a different style of shooter.
