  We present a hybrid trapping platform that allows us to levitate a charged
nanoparticle in high vacuum using either optical fields, radio-frequency
fields, or a combination thereof. Our hybrid approach combines an optical
dipole trap with a linear Paul trap while maintaining a large numerical
aperture (0.77 NA). We detail a controlled transfer procedure that allows us to
use the Paul trap as a safety net to recover particles lost from the optical
trap at high vacuum. The presented hybrid platform adds to the toolbox of
levitodynamics and represents an important step towards fully controllable dark
potentials, providing control in the absence of decoherence due to photon
recoil.
