[QUOTE="rwleonard, post: 108128, member: 2088"] I bought a surveyor's tripod and 5/8" nut at Home Depot. I epoxied the nut into the bottom of the benchtop that I had been clamping into my workmate. This tripod is a bit different. It looks like a big, heavy-duty camera tripod with half-size survey-type legs attached to a center elevation post. I have only dry-fired in the backyard with it so far, but I think it should be just fine. Percieved advantages at this point are: 1. Lower cost - about $225 total. 2. lighter weight. 3. Easier transportation and storage. 4. Greater elevation adjustment (kneeling to standing) The only draw-back I see is that it does not have an integral, rotating seat. I hope to go g-hoggin' with it this Saturday. I will try to post pics and a report. Thanks for everbody's input. Rick [/QUOTE]
