Like many things of quality, the devil is in the details. At first glance, the Tricer tripod is similar to others on the market. But then once you get to see it in action, operate the inverted legs, feel the build quality and how light it is, you realize this is something made with much more thought and attention to quality.
My set up also uses the LP head and 360 panning accessory, and that combo solves all the glassing needs for the hunter. Get the 360 panning head! It may not seem like much at first, but when you are systematically glassing an area, being able to control the pan and field of view with just turning a knob, it really tightens up and focuses the area you are glassing. It makes "gridding" an area so much easier and controlled. It is also great when digiscoping from a spotting scope.
For me, the top three pieces of gear that can make a hunt more enjoyable and more successful are a great pair of boots, a great pack and my optics. After 39 years of hunting the West, I have used enough to know the difference between good and bad on all three of those.
And when it comes to optics, they perform best when paired with a solid, high quality tripod and head. This combo is the last one you will need!
This is easily the best bipod I’ve tried. The price is fair for everything you get. I thought I’d never use the long legs but they are the only ones I use. Extremely versatile and surprisingly stable at full length.
