Two Vets Tripods No Name V2 Inverted Tripod

Introduction

Some ancillary shooting equipment is for comfort, and others are simply a must have. Today we are talking tripods, which in my opinion is a must have for some shooting situations. Specifically we are talking about the Two Vets Tripods No Name V2 Inverted tripod. Inverted meaning that the legs are configured with the larger diameter sections at the bottom.

This and many other features of this tripod give you a great deal of support while shooting. While I am just a bit of a redneck who enjoys putting bullets in very specific places, I think I might help understand why you should add something like this to your kit.

The No Name V2 Inverted

Despite being a tripod without a name, the V2 has a great deal of features you’d expect from big names. By inverting the legs, and putting the narrower sections of the leg at the top, Two Vets reduced the size of the tripod head. Making the whole tripod more compact overall when collapsed.

Additionally by inverting the legs, the twist locks for each section are at the top of each section instead of the bottom. This makes deploying the legs quick by simply twisting the lock and sliding the leg out and twist again to secure it. This is further enhanced by very short 1/4 turn twist locks, so you don’t have to sit there and wind your wrist to get the legs secured.

Locking the legs in various positions is done using a spring-loaded lock that can be pushed from the back or pulled from the front. Making it easy from any position to adjust the legs. Additionally there are various threaded holes in the head and leg tops allowing you to attach accessories.

But There’s more

Fantastic additional features like the Area 419 ARCA Lock Dual clamp that works with ARCA rails or picatinny rails. And venting the legs to prevent air from slowing the deployment or stowage. Spikes are built-into the rubber feet and easily swapped out in the field. Centered under the head, there is also an anchor point you can hang a backpack or other weight from to help add stability to the tripod.

Ball Head

The No Name V2 can accept any of the Two Vets ball heads, I chose to go with the 65mm head, because of the often heavy rifles that it will support. The ball heads allow smooth panning on the tripod with labeled degrees, as well as near infinite articulation. There are tension clutches built-in to add resistance and lock up the head should you choose.

Field Shooting with Two Vets Tripods

Before I’d even left the house, I could see that a great deal of thought had been put into this tripod. It obviously had been built with shooters in mind. I do most of my shooting in the rugged Rocky Mountains and dry deserts of the intermountain west. My day to day shooting can be anywhere from 2400 feet above sea level clear up to 10,000 feet where the air in thin. I was particularly excited to get this tripod assimilated into my kit.

Building a good shooting position is important whether you are a PRS competitor or a hunter. I enjoy both, and have incorporated tripod use into them both as well. Sometimes a tripod is just too easy not to use for a comfortable and pleasant shooting position. Whether it be just to get comfortably above grass and brush on the ground before you, or to shoot comfortably from a standing position at squirrels in a tree.

Deployment

Deploying the No Name tripod is quicker than other tripods I’ve used. Instead of loosening the lock ring and either waiting for the leg to drop or pull it it out myself; I can simply twist a quarter turn, pull the vented leg down to where ever I need it, and twist it back into locked position.

Folding the legs into the needed position was also enhanced by the easy to operate leg locks. I quickly found that you can either push them out from the back or pull from the front. And hooking up a rifle to the ball head was easy using the Area 419 dual clamp. I used it to easily attach both ARCA rail kitted rifles like my custom 22 or picatinny rail like on my custom 25 Creedmoor.

We can always wish for more compact tripods, but I found the No Name to be a good fit into my Eberlestock Just One pack that I have been using in these mountains.

Adjustment

I already mentioned how easy it is to quickly adjust the leg-length of the No Name. Adjusting the angle is also quick, pulling out the locks to stop the legs at one of the three angles. The real rock star of adjustment though is the 65mm ball head on top of the tripod. Rotating a full 360 degrees with adjustable tension for your liking.

The large bowel also has two cuts at the front allowing a ninety-degree angle if needed for high angle shooting. A large tension knob makes it fast and easy to apply the clutch to the ball head. You can pull the knob out to reset its timing for maximum comfort. I found it a comfortable place to hold the tripod as well while setting position on targets.

With all these options I found it was convenient to get setup in nearly any position. It was just a matter of adjusting the leg-length or angle to get a solid setup.

Durability

All this is nice, but only if it lasts. The No Name is very well built, everything about it suggests it is high quality. Even the fasteners are engraved suggesting they take care of every little detail. The high quality parts and finishes are made to endure tough use.

The carbon fiber legs are very rigid, even when extended the whole assembly gives a very robust feeling. All three sections of each leg are timed to stay indexed together, and even when the twist lock is loose they keep their correlation.

O-rings on threaded accessories keep things from coming loose and falling off, which I have had issues with before with other tipods. The only thing That has come loose in all of my shooting has been the threaded ball head attachment point. I suppose some simple blue loctite would take care of that, so it’s not a big deal.

Pros and Cons

I could come up with very few things about this tripod that I didn’t like. However I mentioned the ball head can come loose when turned counter clockwise, but I also mentioned thats an easy fix I simply haven’t chosen to apply. You might suppose the tripod is a little bulky for some activities one could say, both in size and weight. But this is something you know going in. If you are looking for a super compact and lightweight tripod for hunting backcountry, you might chose another option. But if you want heavy duty strength and rigidity for shooting competitions or perhaps law enforcement sharpshooter detail, this is a very good option.

For purposes like that the No Name V2 is a very good option. If offers quick and reliable deployment, with a sturdy and adjustable stance. It’s hard to imagine a scenario where the No Name wouldn’t be a valuable asset for building a solid shooting position.

My Conclusion

As you might have gathered at this point, I really like this tripod. I’ve used a few different tripods over the years and I really prefer this one. Not only is it a good product but it comes from a company that has good values and knows what their customer wants. And at the risk of sounding a bit cheesy, their product stands for itself.

You can spend a ridiculous amount of money on carbon fiber tripods, and this one certainly isn’t the cheapest. But I think if you are in the market for a good shooting tripod, your money would be well spent on Two Vets products.
