I started looking for a tripod a while ago for my Desert Tech. It’s not going to get a ton of use, so I didn’t want to spend a ton. I saw all the reviews for it, and decided to pick one up. I backordered one on 12/26 and it showed up yesterday, 1/11. For $150 shipped, this thing is great! I was thinking I should get the one with carbon fiber legs, but that’s 3x the price of this one to save 1 lb. I am using the RRS ball head and the RRS Desert Tech adapter and no issues getting a solid stance to shoot. I like that it comes with the hook, extra spike feet, and a carrying case. Really looking forward to taking this out to the field.
