Spartan Hoplite Woodland

[nm.otter]

Paul at @Happy Antelope put this together at my request. Hoplite apex with Woodland legs. Three pounds all in, 69" to top of stud at full extension.

Turns out Rob has recently been hunting with the same setup and plans to offer it as a standard config.

That looks quite nice, what is the shortest configuration? And, most importantly:

Legs at minimum length and maximum angle puts the top of the stud at 9" above the floor (8-7/8" with rubber foot covers off). Gunsmith adapter eats 0.52" of that; entirely usable prone.

Mountain legs would drop a bit of weight, but not tall enough for me (6'0") to glass comfortably when standing. They're also a bit short for me to use as trekking poles (think steep downhills).

I’m looking for something easily portable that works better than my trigger sticks for a seated front rest. It’s going to be carried along one side of my assault pack, so it might as well be a light tripod as a bipod. But I also don’t want to break the bank.

I did this with my hoplite/sentinel tripods. It’s pretty handy.

I used this setup all last season. I used the legs as trekking poles. I like the set up.

I was impressed with how stout the legs are as trekking poles.

Tent/mid poles is next. I have some ideas...
