[QUOTE="matts4601, post: 1249784, member: 76886"] The Outdoorsman in Phoenix area makes a tripod with a great system for glassing w/binos or spotting scope. It has a pistol grip top (one of several options) and with a squeeze of the lever you can turn the pistol grip sideways and it's got a spot on the side that becomes a rifle rest. It's light, extremely fast and very packable. I backpack hunt and spot and stalk a lot and I take this tripod system everywhere I go. They even have a quick release adapter for your binos. It's quick to set up and glass or turn the pistol grip sideways (as in seconds) for use as a gun rest. Doesn't solve the problem of supporting the butt of the stock, but I use my backpack for that. The tripod has two sections on each leg that telescope and the adjustment is easy and quick and locks in place. Each leg has an additional feature which is a button at the top of the legs that allows the legs to flare way out in order that you could make the tripod almost flat so you can shoot prone or very low to the ground. This system is the best I've seen and I've looked at most of what's out there. The one downside is expense. They are proud of these things but let's face it folks, you've already invested a bunch of dough on your rifle, your optics, your ammo, your tag, your hunt, your travel...what's another approx. $500? They are proud of the product but it's really, really well built. It's light, very durable and works great. If you haven't seen it, I'd encourage you to take a look. And they have 3 different height tripods from which to choose. I love them! Even just as a tripod and glassing system I think it's the very best. I've had carbon fiber tripods etc and this is just as light or lighter and the head is awesome and great with which to glass. A solid shooting platform too so long as you use something else under the back end of the gun stock. And you don't have to take your optics off the top of the tripod to shoot from it! [/QUOTE]
