Lite Weight Tripods - Glassing

Ike, what brand is that? It looks a lot like mine but I'll have to dig it out to check the brand. (I don't recall....bought it a few years ago.)

Uh...hope that didn't sound dumb. I just realized that I SUPPOSE all tripods look alike....LOL...you know, three legs and a mount.

LoL! Nope, not dumb at all.... #-o That's one from Bushnell and I've had it forever also...I'm looking for one a little more sturdy I guess. This one is great, weighs next to nothing, but can be a bit wobbly at times. :)

George:

I have a Gitzo Travler with carbon legs. Very light, compact and stabilizes my spotting scope well in breezy conditions. They're not cheap though.

For a cheaper model, the compact Nikon series is well made as well and failry light weight. I bought that to replace my Bushnell (your model) a few years back when I needed something steadier.

Thanks Roy, heard a lot about the Gitz...

I am carrying the exact same tripod as you are Ike. I love it because it is so lite but agree that it can get a little wobbley in the wind. I just have to make due with what I have got right now though. I have way to many things to take care of with a baby on the way so no hunting gear splurging for me for a while lol

You boy's otta give the outdoorsmans in Phoenix Az a call... Their small tripod is bar none the best tripod IMO on the market! Steady, light and AWESOME!!!

Hey Marvin, how are you? I have an Outdoorsman tripod as well......they're good and steady, but a little heavier and bulky for extreme back-packing trips in my opinion......and not quite as versatile as the Gitzo in terms of weight and pack ability. I use the Outdoorsman in my truck and for short trips when it's breezy, as it is very steady and easy to use. It's good for short hiking trips as well ( 1-2 miles)........either one is a high quality tri-pod, just depends on how mauch weight you want to cut and how much space you want to take.

You draw any good tags this year? The new CA record books are on sale.......you need one?

Roy,

Thanks for asking... I really would like a new record book... Just let me know who to make out the check to and where to send it...

As far as tags... Out of over twenty some tags, I drew Colorado on a undersubscribed archery unit... Still waiting on California like the rest of us but I'm not holding my breath... It could take many years or never!!! I'd be in heaven if I got to draw the tags you had the last two years!

Marlon:

Call Ed and tell him you want the new book. (he's got them now) He'll give you the price and ship you one.......your check will be made out to CBH-BGC.
