I don't know of any 70" tripods, that's tall. I received a Primos tripod for Christmas and it's very sturdy and adaptable.

I went through amazon, phopik pt-244 77in max and a Picatinny camera mount by vortex. Works well with my impact, costs around 80 dollars for both.

Best tripod I know of and have used is the Primos 62". Do not know of a 70" tripod. The promos has worked great for me standing and even in a sitting position though I will say I am only 5'11".Perhaps be creative and make your own custom or use the crotch of a tree when available, heaven only knows how often I use a tree to shot from. Hope you find what your looking for.

I already had this Slik Pro 700 DX tripod and bought this Neewer gimbal head 30 lb. capacity with arca swiss attachment to use with my rifles with picatinny rails. You see you can buy the tripod without the head if you want to save some money. You will have to buy an arca swiss to picatinny adapter or make your own by taping and screwing a UTG style quick-release picatinny clamp to the arca swiss clamp. The tripod is heavy and stable enough to hold your rifles unattended as long as the wind is not blowing hard. The adjustable angle legs allows you to shoot from the sitting position and while the set-up is somewhat heavy I have taken it afield when I know I will be sitting or doing a lot of shooting from one position.

PS I tried to copy and paste the link to Amazon for these items but it would not work. Hope you can find them $100 for the tripod and $80 for the gimbal head

How tall are you? I'm 6'3"and use this to shoot ground squirrels from a standing position. It's adjustable so you can use it from prone to standing. It's real solid and the swivel adjustments are nice and smooth. If folds easily and ones with a carrying strap.

I am 5'8" and I would not be able to use the tripod in the highest position. The listing on Amazon says the tripod max. ht is 70". One thing I will mention is the center extension pole is threaded so I am sure you would be able to add the height you need. I don't know how flexible that yolk would be with a variety of rifles. I know with the gimbal head once the tripod is set-up level it is very fluid and easy to pan and elevate for incline and decline. The only draw back is having to install picatinny rails to each rifle. You could use a sling stud adapter but I don't think it would be as secure. Bill

i'm not sure I'm understanding what you're saying. There is NO center pole on the Caldwell Field Pod. The legs pivot under the yoke, allowing you to change the height. Why would you need to add a picatinny rail to your rifles? The yoke is adjustable, down to 22".

That is really tall.
1. Get a camera tripod and a picatinny Arca Swiss adapter.
2. Get a BOG deathgrip. Max height 59".
