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.

Do you intend to shoot from the Ridgeline? Received it yet, any thoughts on it so far?

Absolutely intent to shoot with it plenty and see how it will work for a kneeling and lower shooting tripod. Have not received it yet.

Thats my thoughts for it as well. Let me know what you think once you've received it and have had a chance to play with it, if you would. Thanks!

Any idea if the Aziak Ridgleline can manage an 85mm?

Just bought a Tricer AD to check out. Thought I wanted a standing capable tripod but this thing is way too big. Also the legs adjustments are super stiff and the legs are really tight making them difficult to extend. The lock nuts are threaded backwards also which is annoying. Planning to exchange for the BC to try but if it operates as stiff as the AD I got I’ll pass. Thinking I might have got a lemon.
Anyone comment on usability of the BC? What else should I be looking at in this price range? 90% sitting glassing with NL14s. Backpack hunting.

Wiser Precision Quick Stix system has been awesome for me.

It's the lightest setup you can buy, and I've been using it for the last three years in Alaska without missing a beat. It has helped me and my wife on three successful sheep hunts in that time. I run an ATM-80hd spotter weighing 1.6kg for reference.

I've been extremely happy with my Aziak FC. I like that it gets way smaller than the tricer does. I did get a tricer LP head to try on it along with the FC head and a few others. I think Aziak has absolutely nailed the tripod game.

Really like my leofoto with the level base for shooting.

Which leofoto do you use?
