Hog Saddle Question

Re: Hog Saddle Question

The ball heads that come with those tripods are a little weak (11 lbs?), so if you have a heavy rifle and want to clamp it in place at anything other than its center of gravity (or thereabouts), it's going to droop a little when you aren't supporting it. Which can be fine.

You can just get a stronger ball head for the tripod of course. The tripod itself is plenty strong and rather awesome in how flexibly it can be deployed.
