Tripod Setup

[aslrookie]

My setup is mainly used for night hunting coyotes with NV. I also use it for general shooting practice and probably some DMR matches. I currently have a pint sized GC bag that I literally just toss onto the head of my tripod as of right now. It works, but not ideal, obviously.

I am grabbing an Abel Table for it and plan on going with a direct mount to the PIG 0311 tripod. My idea is to attach a Modlite IR 850 light I have to the table as an IR spotlight. That way I don't have to aim my muzzle at everything with my laser and burn the laser battery. To have the Modlite move independently, I need a ball head or something for attachment to the light and table.

Anyone have ideas? The light is not heavy at all, so it doesn't have to be a heavy duty system.

Is the light head on a scout style body or standard?
Either way you could put this on the ballhead

I have mounted lights on my rifle and on my blind. I prefer mounting to the blind when there is a narrow shooting lane. I would think you could use a similar clamp on your tripod.
