8OWHUNT247 Report post Posted June 25, 2015 Hey Guys, Do any of you know of a tripod that extends up to 6'-4"?? What are all of you tall guys using?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost85 Report post Posted June 25, 2015 i'm a little over 6'4" and have a vortex tripod tripod. i think it's made my manfrotto. the legs and head were about $300. it would probably work for a guy that's 6'7" or so. it's like packing a boulder in your pack, but extremely sturdy. i have beat the h#ll out of it for 6-8 years now with no issues. i USE my equipment, not babied 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GreyGhost85 Report post Posted June 25, 2015 i think it might be this one. i don't think vortex "makes" them anymore.http://www.manfrotto.us/055xb-tripod-and-128rc-micro-fluid-head-with-200pl-14-plate. that's the same head mine came with as well, and it works very good. says it extends to 74", which seems about right Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildwoody Report post Posted June 25, 2015 Outdoorsman has the longer legs and you can also get the center tube extender Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost85 Report post Posted June 25, 2015 when you extend the tube it makes the setup a lot more wobbly.i have a hard time justifying $500 on a set of aluminum tripod legs. very over priced for what you get IMHO 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildwoody Report post Posted June 25, 2015 I agree $500 would be to much, got mine done for $150 for the longer legs and extension tube. And I'm only 5'10" so I don't put it Al the way up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azgutpile Report post Posted June 25, 2015 If you go with a pistol grip head, it will add a couple additional inches. I have slick 624cf and the outdoorsman pistol grip with the extended adaptor and its over my eyes by a couple inches and I'm 6' 3" 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rcdinaz Report post Posted June 26, 2015 I just bought this one a few months back. Amanda used to have similar ones on her site but they were out. This is not your light weight CF tripod it is a big tall sturdy sucker for the spotter, big binos, and rifle rest. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L1F86CM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unit_master Report post Posted July 9, 2015 I have this one for sale. It will easily stand 6'6" with the manfrotto grip and a bino adapter. http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/58775-brunton-tripod-100/?do=findComment&comment=570458 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
