muledeerarea33? Report post Posted October 7, 2018 I’ve ran a vortex tripod for years. Have had a few leg sections slip and they replaced them for free! I’m 6’1” and it’s tall and sturdy. I’ve wanted to buy a new one for the last 5 years but with what I hear, i’m better off using my old vortex. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IA Born Report post Posted October 11, 2018 The extension sticking below the legs is definitely an inconvenience, but after a long weekend of glassing for my kids' deer hunts and being able to stand upright and glass when necessary was worth it. I"m willing to bet that, once you get rolling with it, you'll never notice. I ended up walking with my binos attached and just extending the neck up enough for me to hold the neck. It was perfectly balanced that way while walking from spot to spot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eastvalleyjerry Report post Posted October 11, 2018 Just ordered an extension for my tripod. Those guys at SLIK are quick, great customer service. Looking forward to not having to stand so awkwardly anymore. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IA Born Report post Posted October 11, 2018 Almost forgot: when I strapped the tripod to my pack for the initial hike in, I never noticed any weirdness with the extension being longer than the legs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
