Tricer tripods vs…..

[flyfisher117]

Is it substantial enough to shoot off of?

Curious as well. This forum says that Aziak says no the Back country and Ridgeline is not for shooting off of and it will shorten the life span of the tripod.

Aziak on their social media told me yes both work excellent. Within reason for their size.

Used the tricer bc for a year, thought I liked it then switched and used the aziak backcountry lite and like it much more. The center column locks up tight with no slop as opposed to the tricer. And the aziak also packs up way smaller and tighter than the tricer which I like.

My wife made a 600 yard shot off the aziak last October. I will also admit the Tricer owner just bugs me which was probably the main reason for trying the aziak in the first place. Had a tricer lp in the pic that has since been sold, will likely be getting a wiser precision head to replace it.

Just not a mustache guy huh?

Curious what you didn’t like about the tricer LP? It’s been my fav and I’ve used half dozen or so. Will be curious to hear the thoughts between the wiser.

To the idea if shooting off one of the lightest tripods made from a few posts up ….yes you can (I have done it too). And yes it can be effective. But by all means a heavier more sturdy tripod will work really well (better). I know the idea of hauling a 3lb tripod sucks….all trade offs.

Now using it as a rear support with a taller bipod! Priceless.

I ordered the Ridgeline from Aziak. It looks great and is only 20 oz total weight, including the integrated head.

Using a super light pan/tilt head with a small arca plate on the bottom is the solution for ergonomic glassing from a system like that.

If you use a straight spotting scope, the switch back and forth between binos and spotter is seamless, as you don’t need to make adjustments to the legs or use a center column to adjust height in order to have the same perspective as you would with an angled spotter.

I was honestly excited for that to come to market. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
