The deployment speed I was referring to really relates to shooting at night in the standing position. Most of that will be rabbit shooting with a .22 and NV, so its close range where speed, silence and the minimum of faff are essential. When every shot is taken with the same stance there's no need to alter the height you just have to throw the legs to get the tripod into position. However my ground is mostly cultivated with some pasture and it pretty even underfoot. I haven't got rocks and holes and tussocks to negotiate. If you have then the one-touch trigger adjustment to straighten them up would be a real boon. I do find though that at their full height the Primos sticks are just about right for me on level ground and I'm 6' tall. A slight adjustment one way or the other and they feel a bit low. The bog-pods are definitely taller.
The leg pivots on the Bog-pod are a lot freer than the Primos (may loosen with use) and I can throw the legs out with much less effort. I hold the closed sticks with two legs towards me and one facing forwards. The forward leg pretty much falls out under its own weight when released, I then step back and tip out the right hand leg and then the left. It takes a second and can be done one-handed while I taking the rifle off my shoulder. The Trigger sticks I find need to be positively planted with two hands. But, as I say I've used the Bog-pods for such a long time I've got the knack. I also find that when I do want to adjust the legs on the Primos sticks, by sod's law the trigger never falls to hand and in turning the handle to get it in position the lanyard often gets in the way.
The Trigger's feet are quieter though and they stop the legs clacking together. The Pog-pod's legs touch one another when folded and clack like a bundle of fishing rods. You have to carry them with an index finger keeping the legs apart and if the feet touch down down on a stone in the dead of night with a rabbit 40 yards away it sounds like you've dropped a spanner on a concrete floor. the Pog-pods have rubber feet for hard ground which can be screwed in to expose stainless steel points for soft ground. I always prefer them screwed out so the rubber feet are in use but they never stay where I've left them. The rubber walking-stick feet on the Primos sticks are much better and more discreet.
Both sets of sticks are expensive. The Bog-pods feel a bit old fashioned but they're well made and dependable. Unless you're very tall, in which case the Triggers might be a bit short for standing shots especially if you've got one foot in a hole, I don't think you'd be disappointed with either. Whether the Triggers will cope with the wet conditions is a chance you take. The supplier I bought mine from did say the makers where very good at repairing and replacing and I've always got the Bog-pods to fall back on. If you'll just have the one set of sticks and you shoot in a wet climate that's a calculation you have to make I guess.
