Bipod + Trekking Pole = Tripod? Or, how to mount an arca plate on a terkking pole. . .

[cowboyarcher]

Hi All,

I just mocked up this crude arca mount for my trekking pole and bipod. Any ideas of a better way to attach the arca plate to the trekking pole? This paired with a head mounted on top of the trekking pole seems like an interesting concept. . .

Thanks for any leads!

You could get the 3rd leg from wiser precision, has a built on pic rail. May work with some tinkering

chiming in that that's a pretty cool concept! I bought a trailpix tripod adapter years ago that uses two trekking poles and a third pole, like a short tent pole. Might not be available anymore, but the trekking poles go upside down, the point goes into the adapter. Works OK for a camera, worthless IMHO for glassing.

Hope you show us the final solution.
