Hi all, im looking at getting a tripod and i dont have much experience with tripods at all, other then the Bog Deathgrip. All though i didnt mind it, i would need to switch out the head for the ball head. The plan for a tripod for me would be to run about a 15 pound rig for thermal hunting, in 22-250 AI. Any recommendations, advice, or things i should look for when getting a tripod? Thanks all!

Have you shot off a tripod before?
How far will you be carrying it?
Standing?
Sitting?
Will you put ARCA on your rifle forend?
Do you want to shoot directly off the tripod or off a bag on the tripod?

Are you going to be shooting from standing, or from kneeling/sitting? That will have a big impact on what you need.

I'm selling a few tripods if you want to take a look, but happy to offer advice even if you don't want one of these.

I have shot off of a tripod before.
I will be carrying it between 1-150 yards.
99% standing.
Might add arca, idk yet, gotta find a tripod first.
Directly off the tripod, im used to a bog deathgrip with hog saddle.

Its going to be with a thermal rig

Get a 2 section tripod with Inverted legs. Very stable and easy to adjust setting up or on the go because the adjustment is always within reach.

Use a plate with bag on top like this for quick adjustment and easy tracking of moving animals. (I make it and it is excellent for quick engagements.)
