Excellent product

I have used this product for my Athlon Optics spotting scope and works really well. It is very easy to use and attach the spotting scope. I intend to use this product for elk hunting and the rifle range. This is my first tripod and I would highly recommend it to any beginner. It is very lightweight and durable.

Legs for days!

This is a must have for hunters. I saddle stand hunt and have never found a need for a tripod, until I had kids. I purchased this for my 3 year old son to assist him while hunting. Since then I've found how versatile this support is. I use it sighting rifles in, target practice, teaching my son about firearms it's amazing. I have since opened up my horizons and started ground hunting hog. I've even used it during turkey season this year. It's packable, portable, supportable, durable, dependable and versatile! If you hunt slopes, ridges or elevation changes this will set up to support you! I look forward to future adventures with Vortex!

Janky Swivel

Swivel head on it is very janky. Kind of bulky.

Awesome tripod

I have mounted spotting scopes and rifles on this tripod. Works great with everything i throw at it. Im 5'11" so getting one that would get up to a comfortable viewing / shooting height was important to me. This one fit the bill. Light weight (for the material its made out of) and very stable. Would highly recommend.

Brick Sh**house strong

This budget friendly tripod held steady when my 220 pound machine gunner buddy decided he needed to use my tripod I use for glassing to make a shot? copying us he stands it up then proceeds to lean in to "take out the slop" of the tripod this is when I realize he has his feet kicked back and he looks like MJ leaning over. This tripod bearing the weight of a chassis rifle and 220 pound of all American beef held steady enough for him to shoot a string and return to playing in the dirt? 10/10 approve of this bad Larry!

Sturdy and light

It is light enough to hike in and out while hunting. I use it to mount my spotting scope using the Arca Swiss adapter. I can then tighten the head and switch to a shooting V if need be. If you're looking for something lighter for more money then more power to you. For me it's plenty light enough and very sturdy, I can lean some weight and rest my rifle on this without feeling like it will break.

Lightweight and sturdy

This tripod is easy to use and lightweight allowing for backcountry hunting trips. It is rugged too, holding up against bangs and drops in the high country like a champ. I recommend pairing with the Diamondback HD Spotting Scope also made by Vortex.

Rugged and we'll designed

Provides excellent performance. I have used this tripod for both hunting, nature viewing and long distance photography. It is incredibly stabil and allows for use on very uneven terrain. It is on the heavy side, but so long as you plan your packing list for your other items, it is quite manageable.
