I take my tripod most everywhere. Can glass with binos and spotter, then swap out the bino adapter to a shooting V and get extremely steady in a sitting or kneeling position. I just purchased the swaro STC and am very excited to use that this year. Pretty sweet spotter for the weight for sure.

The Wiser Precision Ba7 sparrow works really well glassing from a trekking pole too.

Id do that no problem if I wanted to save weight. It won't be as stable, but it is stable enough for a guy who is covering ground but stopping to grid areas

This is exactly what I took on my sheep hunt and it worked great.

There’s a high probability you’re going to move to a spotter the second you see white to determine if it’s a ram worth getting a closer look at- something the guide will already have.

You can get this combo for $250. At 1lb 11oz I think it’s worth it

where can you get this at?

Amazon has the tripods for anywhere from $100 to $125

You can either buy a new head from Tricer/Gohunt or cruise the forum classifieds as they pop up from time to time.

If buying all brand new you are looking at $300 for this setup.

Tripod for binos 100 times out of 100

No need for a tripod for use with your binos.

Spotting Dalls with handheld binos is easy. In order to judge horns you will need a spotter and tripod and be sub-500 yards with good visibility if you are counting rings. I have a tripod adapter for my binos and am a big believer when it comes to hunting brown things in the woods and hills. I've have never thought twice about bringing it and/or a second tripod on a sheep hunt where every ounce counts. No benefit for a significant weight and space penalty.

One spotter and one tripod for a group is plenty to cover all that needs doing on a Dall hunt.

A quick change shooting rest for the tripod is a valuable addition with no real weight penalty. I attached a small shooting V to a QR adapter for my tripod and it takes about 2.5 seconds to swap my scope for the shooting rest on top of the tripod.
