[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1365325, member: 64108"] From another thread; [URL]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/tripods.190716/#post-1335332[/URL] I take a UTG quick release and thread it 1/4"-20 it to fit on a tripod fluid head base upside down then any pic rail/bipod rail will clamp into it. The possibilities and endless...and cheap ! The monfrotto 128 head ($40 Ebay) is rated to 9lb but I've had over 15lbs on it, just tighten the adjustment knobs.
