Got invited to go hog and coyote hunting later in May...
Been perusing tripod setups and the costs are eye watering. I might only use this thing once or twice a year if I am lucky so spending 700-1000+ bucks FOR ME is out.
I THINK I can convince myself to buy the Innorel RT90C tripod as I can use it for my camera occasionally. Although honestly on the property we are going to I dont think I will be hauling shit all over so I could likely get by with an aluminum leg tripod for half the cost or less of the carbon.
I dont think I can convince myself to buy a 350+ dollar adapter to mount a gun to it.
I have 3 or 4 guns I would likely use on it and only 1 has a pic rail on the forend(LMT MWS). 2 have no pic rail on the bottom and no way to mount them(KAC URX3, Centurion CMR) and one has keymod on the bottom(SLR Solo Lite), so I COULD get a small section of pic rail for keymod there.
With that in mind I am LOOKING at saddle type setups. I dont think I care to have clamping ability(seems to add TREMENDOUS cost). I saw some linked from here(and now I cant find it) that were basic saddle setups for like 60 bucks.
Anybody have suggestions for stuff that wont break the bank? I also dont need bomb proof as if I get to use this setup once per year I will be lucky.
I know I am asking this on a forum where everybody and their brother runs a 1500 dollar tripod setup...
