Behind the Gear: Why We Built the Tripod Adventure Light (and Why You'll Love It)

At Polaris, we’re big on practical gear—especially when you're off-grid and relying on your setup to just work. That’s exactly why we created the Tripod Adventure Light.

It’s more than just a torch or a lantern. This is a rechargeable tripod camping light that gives you the flexibility to light up any space, whether you're camping in the bush, working on your 4WD, or even dealing with a blackout at home.


Why This Light Makes a Difference

1. Because Your Phone Torch Just Isn’t It

Let’s be honest—how many times have you tried to set up a tent or cook a meal at night using your phone light?

It works in a pinch, sure, but holding it between your teeth, propping it against a log, or trying to aim it properly while juggling gear is a pain. Not to mention, it drains your battery—and you kind of need your phone for GPS, music, or emergencies.

That’s where the Tripod Adventure Light comes in. It gives you proper lighting, hands-free, with adjustable height and brightness, and it doesn’t tie up your phone or force you into weird yoga poses just to see what you're doing.


2. Hands-Free Lighting, Anywhere You Need It

The included adjustable tripod extends up to 1.9 metres, so you can get proper overhead lighting without balancing lanterns on tables or hanging torches from trees. It's the ultimate hands-free camping light.

We’ve used it to light up camp kitchens, inside rooftop tents, under awnings—even on the beach. Just set it up, aim it, and you’re good.


3. A Portable Light That Works How You Do

Need to check something under the bonnet? Want to light the inside of your trailer? The torch detaches from the tripod and has a magnetic base, making it perfect as a camping light with magnetic mount. It even comes with a hook, so you can hang it wherever you like—inside a tent, off your awning, or from a tree branch.

We designed this to be a truly versatile tripod light for camping and outdoor use.

4. Reliable Battery Life + Easy Charging

With up to 20 hours of runtime on low, the light is ready for a full weekend off-grid. It runs on a built-in 3000mAh battery and charges via USB-C, making it a USB rechargeable camping light that’s super easy to keep topped up—just use your power bank or solar setup.


5. Built Tough for Real Outdoor Conditions

It’s a waterproof tripod light for camping with an IP65 rating, so it can handle rain, splashes, and dust. It’s also drop-tested to one metre—we’ve knocked it over plenty during testing and it still keeps going strong.

And for those windy nights? We’ve added anchor points on the tripod legs, so you can secure it with pegs or weights and keep it steady—no more chasing it across the campsite.


6. Remote Control Convenience

Once you're settled in for the night, the last thing you want to do is get back up just to turn off the light. With the remote, you can control everything—brightness, mode, on/off—from your chair or swag, up to 5 metres away.

Our Take

We built the Tripod Adventure Light because we were over dodgy lighting setups and relying on our phones to do a job they were never designed for. It’s compact, powerful, and honestly just makes life at camp (or anywhere outdoors) so much easier.

If you’ve been looking for a rechargeable tripod light that’s built for adventure, easy to set up, and doesn’t quit when the weather turns, this is it.
