Primos Trigger Stick Tripod to Support Optics and Other Accessories

[Ezana4CE]

I’ve been looking for info on this for a couple of days and I believe I’m overlooking the post(s) that address it. I’m looking to mount a light spotting scope to a taller tripod to view pellet holes in paper targets as opposed to adjusting my scope’s magnification ring or kneeling down to use the tripod pictured below.

Anyone use their Trigger Sick Gen 3 tripod to mount spotting scopes, binoculars, or other optics? If so, are you using any sort of adapters other than what’s pictured and linked below?

The Primos Camera Accessory Mount is designed to work with all Trigger Stick Gen 3 models. The standard 1/4"-20 threaded post fits most...

What’s the stability like for this sort of application? Is wind a large factor?

I've got one. I bought it and the rifle adapter for it and use it to shoot off of. It works and is a lot cheaper than other tripods made to shoot off. It will hold a camera just fine and opens wide enough it won't get blown over unless your in gail force winds.

Used very sturdy Camera Tripods are cheap at Garage sales or Craigslist

@beerthief I thought about that and it’s still an option. I also bought it to weigh against the bipod version. So I’m trying to get as much use from it as possible considering the ease of deployment and light weight of the Trigger Stick. It beats packing and transporting two large tripods simultaneously. What I’m still wondering is if there is another way to mount optics to it besides the adapter in the photo and link above.

To answer my own question, the tripod comes with the $10 accessory mount. So that works for me. Didn’t take long to set my spotting scope up on it. Got the answer I was looking for. Thanks to those who replied.

Edited to add photos.

Sorry about the duplicate of the second photo. For some reason the site isn’t letting me delete it.

I have one that I shoot from, mounted my spotting scope to it and it works like a champ!
