Hanksaiditbest Report post Posted October 16, 2012 I found what seems to be a really good deal on a tripod/pistol grip combo. Its a ravelli 70" tripod with a vertical ball pivot pistol grip for $90 new. The suggested retail is supposedly $399. Anyone have any input on ravelli? The price looks almost too good to be true.

PRDATR Report post Posted October 19, 2012 I haven't used one personally but could use a new one, provided it's not heavy as I don't need too much extra weight in my pack. Found a few of them here, http://www.nextag.com/ravelli/stores-html If you get one let us know how it does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elk77hunter Report post Posted December 13, 2012 I have this one. Very heavy duty and very durable. A great tripod to glass from, but too heavy for me to hike all day with. I went to a lighter one. Plus just to fit in my pack I had to screw off the pistol grip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted December 13, 2012 You should check out the tripods in the store here on CouesWhitetail.com. I recently added a carbon fiber tripod that is my new favorite. Sturdy and lightweight. http://store.coueswhitetail.com/promaster-carbon-fiber-tripod-t325p/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hanksaiditbest Report post Posted December 14, 2012 Any new info on these? I ended up buying the tripod and using it on one hunt. The overall quality exceeded my expectations and the pistol grip was surprisingly smooth and fluid. The only downfall... It's a little too heavy for the hiking that I do. It is extremely sturdy though, and a great tripod for a heavy spotting scope or camera and still an amazing value for the cost. I think I'll sell it if anyone is interested Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
