Tricer AD experiences

[rackcity24]

Just curious what everone's thoughts were on this tripod after more field use? From what i've, it seems like everyone likes it.

I like mine. The one gripe I have is that the 2 center post options are not ideal. With the longer center post, if you widen the legs at all, the center post hits the ground. If you switch to the shorter center post, there is basically no vertical adjustment available. I'd like a center post that's some length between the two options that it comes with.

@pattimusprime22 thank you.

I’ve been happy with mine. Light and stiff. Use it with the LP head. For binos and my 85mm spotter. I think the head would be a better fit with a 65mm or smaller spotter. But I also really like its function for the weight.

Tricer is not RRS quality level, but decent and way less expensive.

@Wrongside thank you, i ended up ordering that tripod last night. I was planning on using my VA-5 head for now. Its still about about a pound and a half lighter than my current tripod.

Nice! Let us know how you like it.

One more oddity about the tripod is the direction you twist the locks to unlock/lock. It is backwards from other tripods I own, so it took me a while to get used to it, but is not an issue for me now.

I'll be following this. I've been looking at Tricer a bit lately for options. Currently using a Slik (it's been well used) and have been thinking about getting an additional tripod (set up one for lighter weight backpack/ hike use, one for truck use).

I have used a Tricer for the last couple of years. Blacktail hunting here at home, on a Wyoming elk hunt and then this year on a sheep hunt. I really like the tripod, the weight especially. I did end up giving mine to the wrangler on my sheep hunt so I need to pick up a new one.
