    Anyone here in the know and could provide the differences between The Ruck and No Name Jr Tripods?

    Specs on the website are very similar. Both are 28mm main tubes, both 4 legs with three 1/2 turn locks. Same weight rating. Collapsed and deployed lengths are about identical.

    What’s the difference?
     
    The ruck comes with the center post built in within the tripod. Like a hog saddle 0311g tripod. I’m quite certain for the no name jr, you have to buy the center post separate and it screws onto the top of the tripod. I have the ruck and like it quite a bit for hunting. It’s comfortable for me to stand and look through with the center post mostly extended.

    Thanks man! Their website shows both with center column, but what your saying would make sense. Is the center column on the Ruck removable?

    Edit: should’ve worded that better. Can you remove the center column and use their bowel adapter?

    I don’t think the center column is removable, at least not easily. The column is roughly T shaped if you look at it from the end and it just slides through the apex and has a thumb screw on the side to hold it in place one adjusted to height. If the center column was removed, the t shaped hole where it slid would be left
