Looking for my first tripod for both camera and my rifle PRS use. I know, two different things, but if I can a decent rifle setup I know my camera will be fine!

Anyway, not looking for a hog and saddle setup. Would like to utilize my arca rail. Looking for a full setup, tripod, ball head with adapter to my arca. I could be totally off here on what I need, etc... tripod setups are new to me. Just did my 30 min research on the hide ?

My max is $500, all in shipped. Doesn't mean I need to spend all $500, could save some for more toilet paper, paper towels, and bottle water!

Send me a PM with what you have.

What are you looking to purchase for $500.? The ball head on my set up was over $400. The tripod was over $1300. If you’re looking to compete in PRS, you need something lightweight that provides a solid platform. I’ve shot off cheap stuff, and its Ok for shorter distance, but out past 500 yards the more stable the tripod and ball-head set up, the more accurate.

So because you spent the absolute max on yours he couldn’t possible find something functional in his price range? Get out of here with that crap, man.

A brand new rt90c with a leofoto lh-55 brand new would be a smidge over $500 new and would be great as a starter set up. Not everyone has the money to blow two large on a tripod set up. ? Do what you can with what you’ve got.

Good luck with your search, man. Hope you find what works best for you.
 
Appreciate the feedback. Tripod found from another member for a great price. LNIB PVA Comp 40 w/SC-44 ballhead for an amazing deal. Well under my budget. This will suit my needs well for now, and potentially a while. If not, I'll upgrade when it makes sense to higher end ballhead and leveling base (RRS Anvil-30, etc). I could see the tripod itself being a good enough base for my needs! Time will tell... stay safe everyone. ?

Keep spending your money on Chinese imported junk, and one day you may just find yourself bowing to the communist leaders that made it. ??
 
I’d rather be a captain in America, then a communist boot licker. ??

You provided absolutely nothing for the OP but your snide judgmental remarks. You’re nothing, if not a self righteous asshole that’s far to full of himself.

Do yourself a favor and learn to be humble and keep your mouth shut unless you’re actually going to be helpful. No one likes judgy posts when all they were looking for was to buy something or looking for help.

PS: “...THAN a communist boot kicker.” Fixed that for you. ? Or did you want to be captain America and then be a communist bootlicker...hmm, maybe I didn’t fix it and was just assuming. ?

Thanks for the grammar lesson. You’re hypocrisy made for a good laugh.
