I'm in the market for a compact hunting tripod. I don't have the budget for RRS or anything up there. Size and spec wise the pig short tripod http://stores.hogsaddle.com/short-pig0311-gs-field-tripod-od-green/ seems to fit the bill other than it being heavy, but I think that will weight will have to be realistic considering I don't want to spend a lot on this. Is there anything similar to this tripod in in the price range? say under $200.
It will have a direct mounted reaper grip which I use on and old manfrotto right now, but its a really old one and the legs don't splay so the lowest it goes about a kneeling position(I bought this one back in the day for spotting scope).
Ideally I'd like to have one that I could use for standing also, but the size and weight and getting one tall enough to work well with my height (6'9") is hard and probably expensive. So for now I think I'd like a more compact for hunting since I'd mostly be shooting from a sitting, maybe kneeling position.
Does anyone have any experience with these that can say GO or NO GO?
