Wiser Precision BT-20 Ridge Warden Ball Tilt Head

We're always looking for gear that pulls its weight and then some. The BT-20 Ridge Warden "Ball Tilt" Head does exactly that. Forget juggling multiple tripod heads or settling for compromises; this is the one solution for both glassing and shooting. We've put it through its paces, and it delivers.

This isn't just another ball head. It's engineered with a unique mechanism that lets you snap it into a tilt-only axis for rock-steady, smooth panning when glassing – just like a dedicated panhead. But when it's time to set up that shot, you can instantly bypass that lock to free the ball, allowing you to level your rifle on any terrain, quickly and precisely. It's the kind of versatility that saves you time and frustration in the field.

Packs Light, Hits Hard.

We know every ounce counts when you're out there. At just 3.3oz (lightest build, no handle), the Ridge Warden is one of the lightest heads on the market. Don't let its weight fool you; this thing is built to perform. You'll get the stability, smooth operation, and dampening you typically only find in much heavier, bulkier heads. It'll confidently handle your medium spotting scopes and lightweight rifles without a wobble.

One Head, Two Jobs. Done Right.

We advocate for multi-functional gear, and the Ridge Warden fits that bill perfectly. This single, ultralight package gives you a highly effective glassing platform and a solid shooting rest. It also incorporates an adjustable carbon handle, a smart design feature we appreciate from their Nighthawk line. This means your customers can customize the ergonomics and packability to perfectly match their tripod and personal setup. It's about less weight in the pack, and more capability on the mountain.

Smooth Operation, Every Time.

From our experience, smooth operation makes all the difference, especially during long glassing sessions. The Ridge Warden delivers a consistently fluid, damped feel in both its tilt and pan movements. This ensures your customers can efficiently and comfortably pick apart distant hillsides for extended periods without fatigue.

Built Tough. Made in the USA.

We only stock gear we trust, and the Ridge Warden's construction inspires confidence. It's machined right here in the USA from robust billet aluminum and stainless steel. The black anodized finish means it's ready to shrug off harsh weather and the inevitable bumps and scrapes of the backcountry. This head is built for seasons of reliable use.
