[QUOTE="morpheus32, post: 442327, member: 7086"] I have the bog pod tripod. I works extremely well and is not that heavy. I would recommend it for walking. The problem that I found after purchasing a couple of different tripods for various shooting activities is that the more sturdy or rapid adjustable...the heavier it got. If your rifle is a lightweight hunting rifle, you don't need much to help balance...if you have a heavy precision rifle, then you have to go for the more sturdy and thus heavier tripod. From my experience in Africa, you might want to experiment with tall bipod shooting sticks. I had a nice set (I will have to check the manufacturer) that walked very well and set up in seconds. It was also quick to adjust for height by pushing forward into my hand holding the top of the bipod and the bottom of the rifle. Also another one from experience. Make sure the head that the rifle sits in, fits your rifle. It is is too small or different angles, you might have to goof around a bit to get it to sit right on the shot. I now prefer the type that has a wide inside and "wings" on the side to hold the rifle. The bog pod is an example. Good hunting [/QUOTE]
