Tripods ...options

[Tim1989]

I got this carbon tripod with ball head and clamp for about 170 including postage off alibaba

Further to my last comment, suwayfoto kept their word and the new arca clamp turned up completely free of charge. Now I can index it so all the control levers are on the left and i can quickly dump the tac table to clip the rifle in when needed.

There’s a lot of good options for tripods. No doubt the high end end stuff is really nice. I bought an Innorel carbon fibre tripod off amazon. 32mm max legs, 25kg rating, ball head, 2kg net weight. Fixtures are good quality with tight tolerances. It’s a really solid nicely made unit, I can’t pick any holes in it. I don’t want a really heavy one as I’ll be packing this sometimes long distances.

I also got a Fanue aluminium saddle mount, it’s a weighty little unit but locks up solid. With these together it gives a really solid rest when sitting, pretty good kneeling and on standing. I wouldn’t be overly confident of a really long shot standing, but sitting it really isn’t far off prone.

At less than half the money of a big name set up Im satisfied - and it’s not dirt cheap but a good compromise IMO. Great for binos too. Can take some photos when I get home after the weekend?

Sure! .im sorted now but would help and give chooce idea forr futurre
.. I got a 2nd hand set of rekon tripod at a good price without the pig saddle...one rifle has arca swiss rail and goes straight on ...i picked up a saddle from ali express so see how that goes
Lad also had a thicker legged carbon monfrotto witha huge diameter ball and was some bit of kit but a chunk heavier than the rekon....
