The Optics Platform is the foundation of the Mountain Stick’s versatility. It provides a stable connection to any standard tripod and attaches to gear using the universal 1/4″–20 screw. While one Optics Platform comes included with every Mountain Stick, owning additional platforms allows for faster transitions between gear setups—saving time when it matters most. Compatible with standard 1/4″–20 D-ring screws for easy, secure mounting.
