Check out the National Geographic tripod on Amazon. I got one in 2023 for $16! Next day they were $150. Bought a saddle clamp on ebay for 50ish dollars & used it ever since with stellar results. Tried to copy link but wouldn't let me. They're $57.76 now. Never expected it to work well but FAR above my expectations!!!

I wasent even born, i came years later in the mid 60ties, me knowing is also solely due to my weird brain that will retain strange random information often of little interest to me.
So i do not have a great knowledge of this fight for freedom, but at least i know it was there.
It could be something i picked up in my school age where i spent a lot of time at the school library and not in class as that was for sure not a place for me.
Wars of many kinds have somehow always had my interest, also read many books on the plight of the native Americans, and Vietnam was another favorite of mine too.
Haven’t read a book in decades though

Thanks I'll be looking at this tripod hard. Have you seen them on sale lower that the $189 listed now?

I’m gonna go with this also with the LB52 head for $10 more. Still need the rifle clamp for different guns.
Almost went cheap for the National Geographic one but this sounds solid.
Thankyou to everyones suggestions, I feel I really splurged.

Got the Primo's Trigger stick with a cheap clamp from Amazon, it works good and Budget friendly.

I bought my gear a couple of years ago, so they may have been a little cheaper. I bought my units individually, but I'm pretty sure Amazon does sell both of those units in a combo pack for $240.

This is what you want. Works with arca or picatinny. Buy a saddle if your rifle does not have a rail on it.

Clamp from Amazon and old photo tripod. The photo tripod is steady enough for my purpose but not rock solid as might be the case with a purpose made tripod. The clamp is 100% okay.

Pretty sure this is it. https://www.amazon.com/Profile-ARTCISE-Professional-Compact-Special-Shaped/dp/B08MPT5NRY/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3TL129DIVCY8N&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Or9Rc6sDhYazewl0NRYkRuuqWEW6IO7vz7eegkAuaYrhkHI__81QbAKSDQaadn7YlrDQxivNPv5uTc2WS3ZOohjKYQBiQtajJ_HX3a-r6WnW9mqGUdV-wgHU6mTqjHeWOLuJk_nHhCZEa-jada7BXZm36JJcfKPP86U4W0FV-jC5wBosQQlZT_IhpmlYji6Z_K9WpqqWFn-udOww2fRfHlMyEUsxQapt0--joLL3mCk.fgmAdF6ApvsHFnMTsvqf24E_ldPkHF8RCy6zK_dDO08&dib_tag=se&keywords=artcise+ns85c&qid=1741893888&sprefix=,aps,194&sr=8-1&th=1
For table top shooting, I have a Sirui AM-223 with an Inorel N52 head

I bought the 52mm ball. But had I seen that would have saved $60 or so. Ahh well if I don’t spend it …

This is what I’m currently using. It’s a Bog Deathgrip with a 55mm ball head on it. In my limited experience it’s a good tripod, but I wouldn’t buy it again. I added the ball head after getting the tripod and the Deathgrip wasn’t really intended for one. It works just fine and it’s an easy conversion, but you’ll end up spending more than you would have had you purchased a tripod that was made for one.
Also, if you buy an aftermarket ball head, go big. I initially purchased a 40mm on the recommendation of a YouTube video and found it wasn’t strong enough to prevent a heavy rifle from sagging downward when it wasn’t supported. With the 55mm I had no further issues.

That's a great deal! Likely would have gone that route over the RT90C but I can't complain it's very good. Would have saved me a good $120 though. Also have the same setup for Table top. Great combo
