Samson, thank you for that video. Now THAT is a true hunting tripod that begs for a rifle rest adaptor. Imagine, the ball head is already built in!

they also have the same model but in aluminum that weighs 9.6 ounces more than the carbon fiber one but costs $250 less--both will support up to 20 pounds of weight
I bet you could get the 1/4x20 or 3/8x16 thread adapter molded/epoxied into your gun stock forend (just like a flush mount cup) then you could just screw on the camera tripod adapter

So the guy talks about how great it is, puts the price on the screen but neglects to put manufacturer or product name on the screen. Took a while to find the product because he quickly mumbled the manufacturer's name. Thought it was peet finally found it name is

It seems like a well designed lightweight tripod.
=====================
I had been hauling a 5 lb Manfrotto with a fluid head for many years. Decided to see if I could put together something lighter. Didn't want to spend a fortune because I didn't know how well it would work.
I made a lightweight tripod by combining a lightweight ball head:

and a lightweight slik tripod

I made it four years ago. I use it for my coues wt hunts with a 15X Swarovski. Machined a small hole in ballhead platform to install a 1/4" dia aluminum rod for panning. It has held up well. I sit and glass with this setup.
