No one uses a pig03-11, for 138.00 plus ball head, sounds like a good deal compared to many listed here ? And plenty heavy duty enough to use for powder burners to.
I decided on getting the tripod Michael recommended. It is the Leofoto LS-365c tripod with LH-40 ball head. For attaching the rifle to this ball head, I also purchased the Sabre Tactical Compact Arca Rail for my .22 FX Impact MKII Compact.
This is a very nice, sturdy setup. The thing I like best is the turn-knob that holds the ball joint is so effortless to use. You turn it gently and the ball locks positively. There is no need to have a strong grip to lock your rifle in place. A child could do it.
When I purchased the tripod and head on Amazon a couple months ago it was $404. I see now the price has been increased to $449.
Thanks for the suggestion Michael. I really am enjoying this tripod and having the ability to shoot from more locations around my property.
Sorry for reviving an old thread, but I figured that its always best to know there are better price options for the items you all listed here.
I ended up getting the "Leophoto LS365C" on "Ebay" for far less less then what's on "Amazon". @Grandspud had mention "Amazon" has them listed around $449.00 for which he's correct. I ended up getting it after I made a lower offer and was accepted. Hope it helps someone else down the pipeline!
I just ordered up the same rig except went for the Kraford & Lypt Gen 3 Arca rail. As Wingding, I got a better price than amazon on ebay "make offer" for the Leofoto LS-365C Pro Carbon Fiber Tripod with LH-40 ball head Kit. From all I can tell the Loephoto looks like very good quality.
