I took advantage, pulled the trigger on the Aziak today. So I’ll be running the Aziak tripod and Tricer head combo with my Kowa 554 and Kowa 10.5x44s.if anyone was looking at the Aziak, 20% off for Labor Day- code laborday2023
Agreed. Nothing beats the Wiser for weight. I love my Spartan Ascent tho.I have the Slik 632 and Wiser 3rd leg setup, and a Wiser pan head. IMO, the Wiser setup is the way to go for minimum bulk and weight. The stability is about equal off either setup for bino glassing. The Slik is too light for me to shoot off of with a magnum rifle since it is near impossible to get in a follow up shot with how much it jumps with the recoil. This is only due to it being so lightweight and I imagine would be the same for all ultralights, the Slik 632 is built like a tank for it’s weight. However, I can disassemble the 3rd leg of the Wiser system and click into the picantinny adapter for a rock solid bipod. The only downfall to the Wiser system is that it will take you 15 seconds to assemble and level where the Slik 632 you could setup in 10.

Yes I do shoot off of it. I've got the Tac Pro and the Valhalla as well. They all serve their purpose, but I'm choosing the Ascent if I'm only packing one. I haven't really compared them side by side but I could see what you mean. Even with the lock up post, the Javelin still has a little bit of slop, so I don't think it's a huge advantage. Once you load either with forward pressure, it's pretty solid.That is the Range Rover of tripods, nice choice! Do you shoot off your Davros Gen 2 head on the Ascent? How do you like not being able to lock in your rifle to the “post”? I bought the head for my Slik 632 tripod and couldn’t get as steady as I wanted to be for long shots. Glassing with the pro optics mount worked well but ended up sending it back after they were unable to provide a “post” with a shoulder like the javelin bipod uses.
I never could get it to lock up like you do with forward pressure and just magnified the shake for myself but I’m not an experienced shooter by any mention of the word. What is this Hercules mount that you mentioned?I plan on picking up the new Hercules mount at some point since it will work with the Davros even tho it doesn't have the slots.
Same as my setup, should cut about 2 and a half pounds from my tripod setup alone, and about 3 and three-quarter pounds from my previous tripod + spotter combo.And just like that, you guys all cost me money again. Looking forward to the new aziak and tricer combo. I think with the Kowa 553 and my 10x42s it will be perfect! In all seriousness though, thanks!
