Packable shooting tripod for daytime predator hunting

[satchamo]

I currently run an innorel rt90c as it’s what I have from my thermal days. I don’t night hunt anymore and just day hunt. I am always sitting in cover so the innorel is huge and unwieldy to pack. I’m looking for some recommendations on something a bit more packable and lightweight but still stable. Stability is more important to me than anything so I don’t want it too light. I’ve tried using my glassing setup with is a Siriui traveler and it’s not enough. Will be outfitting with a ball head of sorts to direct mount to my XLR chassis

Not looking to spend RRS money either so keep that in mind.

I am in the same boat as you. I use the two vets QDT for thermal, but way too big for day time calling. Considering going with the two vets voyager

Tagging in on this thread also as have been wondering the same thing. I have a small lightweight Sirui carbon fiber tripod I use for my glassing which holds my rifles but seems to unsteady for a long distance. Would like to hear others experience.

I had a coupon at Academy and ended up buying a Bog Adrenaline for like $100. It is aluminum, but fairly light at 3.5 pounds or so. Has a standard yoke for a rifle rest, very sturdy. Carry it in my backpack. Sticks out about 6”, doesn’t rattle, secure it with an bungee. Also carry a tripod stool with it in my pack. Not a fancy carbon rig, but works well and fairly cheap.

Try the Inverted leg Leofoto, light and super stable. Love the MC handle as well.

I pack it and shoot off it long range. It’s significantly lighter than the big tripods, but only a little less stable, not much at all.

I tried a few tripods and I despise carrying them. I walk a lot though and only day hunt, so they don’t really lend to my style.

I swapped to a swagger hunter bipod 42. I really like it’s on the gun so my bag straps can carry my stool. Despite looking goofy, it’s really stable.
