I am looking for a budget tripod setup. I would like it to have a Arca Swiss mount and be able to hold a rifle sometimes. Most of the time it will be holding a spotting scope and rangefinder.
Yeah it’s a beefed up version. The joints are strongerThe Slik 700 Pro is $50 less and might work as well as the Pig for your needs. The Pig is based off of it but I don’t know exactly what the differences are. The Slik is pretty heavy though and I think the Pig weighs just about the same.
Yeah not even in the same league. RRS is the gold standard for sure.I had a Slik and bout a Pig on @TacticalDillhole’s recommendation. It’s better. With a Sunwayfoto leveling base, it’s decent. After shooting the Sniper’s Hide Team Challenge, I bought a RRS tripod and Anvil. It’s way better, but pricey.

@texasleftychef is right, it’s not the lightest setup but it’s solid and a good place to start.
Thank you Texas both the Tripod youlisted and the ballhead look good. I think I’ll go with either the Desmond Tripod or the shadowtech Tripod with the demon ball head
