The Afterdark Carbon Fibre Shooting Tripod is a heavy-duty, lightweight shooting tripod designed for hunters, shooters and outdoor users who need a stable platform without carrying the weight of a traditional aluminium tripod.
Manufactured by Manbily as the QM-364, this carbon fibre shooting tripod combines a strong 20kg load capacity with a compact 2kg frame, making it an excellent choice for hunting, long-range shooting, thermal optics, spotting scopes and other equipment that benefits from a stable tripod platform.
With a maximum height of 154cm, a minimum height of 14cm and a folded length of just 61cm, the QM-364 is designed to work across a wide range of shooting and observation positions.
Please note: The Afterdark Carbon Fibre Shooting Tripod is the Manbily QM-364 model, supplied in Australia under the Afterdark name.
A good shooting tripod needs to balance three things: stability, weight and portability. The QM-364 has been designed around that balance.
Its carbon fibre construction keeps the tripod relatively light at approximately 2kg, while the large-diameter legs and rigid four-section design provide a solid platform for shooting and optical equipment.
The tripod has a rated maximum load capacity of 20kg (44lb), giving it plenty of capacity for a wide range of rifles, spotting scopes, thermal optics, cameras and other compatible equipment.
For hunters who spend long periods carrying equipment through the field, the combination of a strong carbon fibre frame and compact folded size can make a noticeable difference.
The QM-364 uses a carbon fibre leg construction designed to provide strength and rigidity while keeping overall weight down.
The four-section legs use tube diameters ranging from 25mm to 36mm, with the larger upper sections providing a strong foundation for the tripod.
Carbon fibre is particularly useful for a hunting tripod because it can offer a favourable strength-to-weight ratio compared with conventional metal tripod construction.
At approximately 2kg, the Afterdark tripod is substantial enough for serious use without becoming unnecessarily heavy to carry.
One of the standout specifications of the Manbily QM-364 tripod is its 20kg maximum load capacity.
This gives the tripod considerable capacity for equipment such as:
The high load rating is particularly useful when the tripod is being used as a stable observation or shooting platform rather than simply as a lightweight camera tripod.
The Afterdark QM-364 is supplied with a dual-interface quick-release clamp supporting both Arca-Swiss and Picatinny mounting.
This makes the tripod particularly versatile for shooters who use different rifles or equipment platforms.
A side-button mechanism allows the clamp configuration to be changed, providing a convenient way to switch between compatible mounting systems.
If your equipment already uses an Arca-Swiss plate or Picatinny rail, this dual-interface design can reduce the need for additional adapters.
The tripod incorporates a large 44mm ball head designed to provide smooth movement and positioning.
A larger ball head is useful when supporting heavier equipment because it provides a substantial adjustment mechanism while allowing the mounted equipment to be positioned quickly.
The smooth pan and adjustment action also makes the tripod useful for scanning with thermal optics, spotting scopes and other observation equipment.
Whether you’re following moving wildlife, scanning an area with thermal imaging or repositioning a rifle, the ball head provides a flexible way to make quick adjustments.
With a maximum height of 154cm, the QM-364 can be configured for a variety of shooting and observation positions.
The tripod can be adjusted for:
The minimum height is approximately 14cm, while the maximum height reaches approximately 154cm.
This broad height range makes the tripod considerably more versatile than a shooting support designed around a single shooting position.
The Afterdark Carbon Fibre Shooting Tripod includes interchangeable feet designed for different terrain.
The tripod can be used with non-slip rubber feet for hard surfaces, or steel spike feet when additional grip is required on softer ground.
The included spike feet are particularly useful on grass, soil and uneven outdoor terrain where a conventional rubber foot may not provide the same level of penetration and grip.
This makes the QM-364 well suited to Australian hunting and outdoor conditions where terrain can change considerably between locations.
Despite its 154cm maximum height, the tripod folds down to approximately 61cm.
That compact folded length makes it much easier to transport in a vehicle, carry through the bush or store with other hunting equipment.
At around 2kg, it also strikes a useful balance between portability and stability.
For hunters who need to walk significant distances carrying firearms, optics and other equipment, reducing unnecessary tripod weight can be just as important as having a strong support when you reach your shooting position.
The QM-364 is designed for users who want more stability and load capacity than a lightweight photographic tripod can provide.
It is particularly suited to:
The combination of carbon fibre construction, compact folded dimensions and all-terrain feet makes the QM-364 a practical hunting tripod for field use.
A stable tripod can make scanning with thermal equipment considerably easier. The smooth ball head allows controlled positioning while the substantial load capacity accommodates a range of thermal devices and accessories.
For shooters who require a stable shooting platform, the large carbon fibre legs and 20kg load capacity provide a solid foundation.
The QM-364 can also be used as a spotting scope tripod, providing the height and stability required for extended glassing sessions.
The Arca-Swiss-compatible mounting system also makes the tripod useful for compatible cameras and other photographic equipment.
