    What Tripod head get

    Most people are using the Q2 Quick Release system. 054 Magnesium Ball Head With Q2 Quick Release MH054M0-Q2 - 054 Series | Manfrotto The head I personally use doesn't have a QD plate. The saddle threads directly to the head. My Leupold Mk4 spotting scope fits in the HOG/PIG Saddle so I don't...

    What Tripod head get

    I think the best tripod head on the market is the Manfrotto 054 Magnesium Ball Head. It's rated for 22+ lbs and is super smooth when transitioning to multiple targets. The tension adjustment knob gradually adjusts the tension, instead of the on/off tension experience a cheaper ball head will...

    Nice kill Wyfox! Regarding the promo, it's already expired. Maybe I'll put something together at the end of the year. Units are currently in-stock. Triad Tactical has a bunch available too.

    The PIG Saddle is here...

    Yep, same dimensions. The PIG Saddle actually opens & closes a little more than the HOG. Roughly 1 3/8" closed, 2 7/8" open.

    The PIG Saddle is here...

    I'd personally mount a PIG on a Manfrotto 190XPROB with no ball-head. You can probably find a quality tripod for less money through the brands Slik or Vanguard. Bushnell makes a decent looking tripod too but I don't have any experience with them.

    The PIG Saddle is here...

    It weighs a little over a pound (a few ounces more than the HOG). The two main differences are the knobs (HOG is CNC machined Aluminum, the PIG is reinforced polymer), and the construction (HOG is CNC machined aluminum, PIG is stamped steel) The HOG Saddle is an overbuilt tool designed for the...

    Manfroto Carbon Fiber Tripod, ball head, and Hogsaddle painted up

    Nice work. Can't beat the factory look. The S&B scope you did for me last year gets complements all the time.

    Hogsaddle use and deployment

    Try looking at these three models: •Manfrotto 054 Magnesium Ball •Manfrotto 498 Midi Ball •Manfrotto 496 Compact Ball Some guys even mount their HOG Saddle directly to the tripod without a ball head. I'd try it both ways and see what works best for you.

    Tripod Users, Question?

    HOG Saddle A Manfrotto 190 tripod will easily handle a 16-18lbs rifle. It’s a good choice for stalking, hunting, and run-N-gun precision shooting. A lot of guys will mount a HOG Saddle directly to the base of a 190 without a tripod head to cut even more weight. (I’d recommend a 190XPROB...
