Light weight tripod!?!

[AZHUNTER05]

Hey guys, a few years back I posted a thread asking about a good light weight tripod. Someone suggested a slik tripod that cost around $100 ( I can't seem to find it again). I got impatient and bought a heavier tripod and I've been kicking myself ever since! Any suggestions on a good tripod in the $100-$150 range? I have a outdoorsman pistol grip head I will be using on it.

 

Thx for the help!

Slik Pro 330ez is a good setup. $104.95 at amazon

It's usually the head that weighs the most.

i use a vortex summit SS. it is lighter than most carbon fiber tripods and packs down to a TINY size. i use it with my 15's and have not had any complaints whatsoever. it is also plenty sturdy. i use a manfrotto 700rc2 head with mine. the whole setup costs around $200 and weighs under 3lbs. could not be happier. many of my hunting buddies have switched from much more expensive setups to these

Can you remove the head that comes on it?

yes, there is some threadlock on it, but it comes off. i made a trail camera mount out of the ball head that came on it. the adapter is 1/4x20 and the head i use is 3/8, so i used a helicoil for the adapter. works great, and fits in the spotting scope tube on my eberlestock

I use the vortex ridge view it's lighter than the summit and is cheaper

You can put outdoorsmans accessories on other tripods??

[Maverick351]

Yes outdoorsman accessories can fit others. At archery HQ we have a really lightweight slik tripod and a carbon tripod as well that is really sweet

Prices?

I have found that I like heavier tripods. Not fun to carry but worth it when you are actually glassing.
