Tripod

[blackdog899]

Last night decided I need a tripod to shoot standing off deck. Briefly looked but could use advice. This will be to clamp various guns into. Could you guys recommend anything ? Definitely less than $ 350 total hopefully. Otherwise maybe Aliexpress but want it strong enough.
Thanks,
Mike

I am looking at:

On amazon in Germany, it is a 160 USD deal if you are set up ready to go with arca
The thing will handle 8 Kilos just fine

Traveler 7C Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod

Buy the SIRUI T04S Aluminum Tripod with VA-5 Compact Fluid Video Head (Only US). Get a reliable support system for your camera with our range of tripods.

Commenting to follow thread as i would like the same. i dont need top line just not pure garbage lol. Would like recomendations on budget standing tripod as well.

Get this one. It adjusts very fast and solidly. It adjusts from standing to kneeling but not prone. My elk-hunting guide uses these exclusively. It looks like Amazon does not carry them anymore, but I assume you can buy them elsewhere. I lay a sock or Teflon sheet on it when shooting springers.

I have one of these, or something similar. Look at specs and get one that will support a lot of weight for more stability

Look here for saddles to attach to top of the tripod for shooting,

Mine is an older setup with the basic saddle. One with the ball head might be better than simply attaching the saddle directly to the tripod as I have. hogsaddle aluminum tripod looks good, has a max weight capacity over 30 pounds which should be good. The actual saddle is adjustable for width so you can literally clamp the rifle in it. although I just like it loose so I can adjust my pointing toward the target.

Just throwing all this out there for some ideas.

I've recently been testing out and using the Caldwell DeadShot Fieldpod that I had around here for a few years but never really use. I picked it up cheap in the classifieds on another forum. I even put a cell phone mount on the front of it to capture some shooting video.
It don't go high enough for standing but it's great for sitting, kneeing and prone. I suppose it can be used on the folding table or such for standing.

It don't go high enough for standing

Me being 6 fot 3" this is something i have to be mindful of too, should i want to stand up, really though i want to sit in a comfortable chair of some sort

The BOG deathgrip 360 chair have my attention alright, but it aint cheap

Like Peashooter said above, Sirui. I have a Sirui tripod and Monopd, they are made well and are sturdy and usually affordable.

I use a bogen tripod with a hunt pal clamp for shooting off my deck. It’s very sturdy and much cheaper than the carbon fiber ones. I also have a Caldwell field pod which is much shorter and way more wobbly. For hunting I carry the primos trigger sticks tripod.

 

[Peashooter]

They also have nimble little ones that will hold a rifle on a table just fine, or if you get down and shoot in a lying position.
I do however prefer my caldwell Rock BR on the bench, but i assume a little mini tripod is a lot lighter,

I am off limit lying on my belly, that simply get too uncomfortable now due to size

@Peashooter -

Thank you for posting the BOG Deathgrip 360.

This was exactly what I was looking for and will arrive tomorrow.

I have had the Bog Deathgrip for over a year now. Not cheap and not light but damn solid! I would like a ballhead adapter for it. That would make it better to shoot off of. I made a shelf to go between the legs to make a cleaning loading stand for my long range muzzelloader when im on a range or in the field without tables. it could also be used for a portable rifle rack when working with multiple rifles at the range.

This is what I use for my FX Impact MK2. I have an arca rail and it fits perfectly on this tripod.
This tripod is strong and hold my gun well. and the price is good as well.

Amazon.ca

Here is a video where I used it sitting down.

I have the Innorel RT90C and a $50 tripod head. Will be about best base you can get around $350-$375.

 

[SpindleB]

Croman KX3636 with a Weyllan QD ARCA mount. Heavy enough to keep steady, light enough to move easy.

$113

[Chasdog]

Very similar to my setup. My tripod is a model 3021 Professional tripod.

 

[Peashooter]

Thank you for posting the BOG Deathgrip 360.

My pleasure.
Besides not many remember the Mau Mau rebellion.

And / or the scene i always remember singular Mau for ( deer hunter Russian roulette scene )

I would like a ballhead adapter for it. That would make it better to shoot off of.

Here is a video by a company that makes a Ball Mount for the Deathgrip.

I just ordered the 360 chair for $198.00 and this Ball Mount is $180.00, almost as much as the chair itself.
