Glassing Chair

Recommended Posts

I picked up a simple $20 tripod stool that folds up pretty tight and slides down in the side pocket of my Exo 3500. It weighs 2 pounds which is a little on the heavy side but the question of sitting on a pad or sitting up on that stool is a no brainer now if I'm glassing any longer than an hour. I can shift my weight from side to side to lean on an elbow and back and forth to change how far up I sit and adjust my tripod and I stay comfortable for hours and hours. I would just prefer to get one that is a little lighter like some of the ones the guys have mentioned above.

I've gone through several chairs, including the walkstool, and have been using a legless chair similar to the REI Trail Chair for about 6 years now. I like it because the side straps help provide back support, which is an issue for me with backless tripod style chairs. The fact it is a half pound lighter, or more, than all the tripod chairs is an added bonus.

We've started using the Helinox Chair Zero.  It is 4 legged but the chair flexes on uneven ground.  Weighs less than a pound and is extremely well made and strong.  They're great for backpacking.

These have been popping up on camofire lately.....around $80 I think.
