Shooting Tripod for NRL Hunter

[OneMore]

The CMX is plenty tall for a shooting off of and glassing with an angled spotter while standing. If you are a giant you may have issues, but for most folks it is plenty tall.

Definitely not a giant. Glassing right now will be Binos.

At 9” longer I have been telling myself it’s worth the trade to be able to stand up and glass or shoot.

Yeah, I'm short, so I don't have that problem. The CMX would probably work great for me especially for gaming/comp use.

I'd love a 3 section inverted that's 24" or so tall when folded for hunting. I'm currently using the SA-364 when hunting and shooting comps.

I have a 404 and a ma30l that I am kicking around selling. I don't gamer shoot so it's surplus to me. I actually prefer the mh heads for my style.

How do the mh heads compared to Aziak, do you have experience with those?

I would not consider the SO282-CMX tall enough to glass/shoot standing. Yes, with an angled spotter or on flat ground with a slight bend at hips, it could do both fine. It's too short for bino glassing standing for me (5'10") on flat ground, much less situations with a downslope in the direction you're glassing which I find myself in frequently.

It is my current hunting glassing/shooting tripod though. I would like to shorten the legs a few inches so it's not as long on the pack. I've seen others refer to the 3 section tricer as a nice option. For full on gaming, a beefier tripod is nice.

I was looking at the 282 CX (regular) and not the 282 CMX (Short) The short version is only 30" tall which isn't too bad.

I wish someone made a lighter 3 section inverted, that would be awesome, I'd like to see the Tricer HK and compare it to the Leofoto. It checks a lot of boxes.

I have the tricer HK and sold my SO282 tall and short tripods right after receiving. Tricer is just right for standing glassing and a sitting/kneeling shooting tripod. Would recommend to anyone looking for a single tripod to use for NRL and hunting.

If strictly for NRL get something beefier, just because there is no weight penalty. You CAN shoot off these tripods standing, but none are exceptionally stable. They are all good enough for kneeling/sitting though

My pard has one....it's pretty much the same.

Sorry I was thinking of my lh head. The mh is a side grip that moves with the gun. The lh and aziak dont....and I hate that. They're super smooth, but I can be hunting for the lever vs it always being on the right side of my gun.
