QUESTIONS FOR OUTDOORSMANS - Podcast

[Jordan Budd]

Hello Roksliders -

I will be hitting a couple shows for the RokCast this winter. I'm reaching out for customer questions you'd like answered from companies.

If you have any questions for Outdoorsmans please post them below. I know they make a variety of equipment, so it doesn't only have to be questions about their packs.

This IS NOT a discussion, please just post questions you'd like answered on the podcast. Thanks everyone!

I have a Swaro 65 spotter with a Micro Pan head. The micro pan head requires loosening and tightening every time I move it. Is the balance rail meant for the 65 or is it more useful for larger spotters?

Will they ever build a carbon fiber tripod or maybe a hybrid of the two? Carbon fiber legs with aluminum components?

 

[tdot]

Will they make a Panhead that is compatible with both an Arca Swiss plate and their proprietary plate? Arca Swiss compatibility is the #1 reason I may stop using their eco-system. (JW2.0 doesnt work for me)

Outdoorsmans should list the weight capability for their tripods 15Lbs? 10,? Etc. Had them do the center stud on z 10x50EL snd it turned out Great! Very easy to use.

This. Love their tripod head and adapters, but they have heavy tripods. Would love to hear if they have anything ultra light coming out.

Is there any progress with a Leica Geovid adapter? Is Leica the hold up not allowing something that maintains warranty or what’s the hold up?

I 3rd the carbon fiber tripod

For using just binos on a tripod would it be better to use the micro pan head or pistol grip with panner? What are the advantages and disadvantages?

They developed the bino hand specifically for the Geovid.

Understood. My question should have been more specific about wanting a stud adapter. Yes the bino hand works but not nearly as convenient as the stud

Ahh, think the laser placement keep this from happening.

Recommended optics weight limits for each head?

Totally agree that they should list the weight capacities of the tripods.

I believe we answered the questions and addressed some things. If you think they should make a carbon fiber tripod, be sure to listen...

Outdoorsmans - Western Hunt Expo

At the 2020 Western Hunt Expo we sat down with the folks at Outdoorsmans Packs and Tripods to talk about new products. Will they be making a carbon fiber tripod?? They also answer a few questions asked on the forums. Outdoorsmans -> https://outdoorsmans.com/ Fluid Head review ->...
