    Gun Tripod

    Any chance you could share the info on your 3-leg tripod & the head you're using? I realize today's prices may be higher but I'm looking for a stable AND portable tripod. I hate making purchases without being able to test drive them-at least to some extent! Thanks, Stretch

    300 Wheeler
