The tripod weighs in at 2.55-pounds and is engineered around an external center column that helps to reduce the weight by as much as 20% when compared to conventional alternatives. The tripod is rated to be positioned on almost any surface thanks to its agile profile, but can also be further contorted to hang on a wall or barrier to maximize versatility. The Silence Corner 'VIPERPOD' is being launched as part of a [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pro-tripod) campaign and also comes in the VIPERPOD Light model that's positioned as perfect for [backpackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onepro-flex-backpack).
