Holds up my binos solid, I can also throw my rifle on there and still shoot solid if I need to. Hardware and adjustments on it are so smooth and fully adjustable and versatile. Hell, I want the bigger tripod for shooting, but I dont know why I would need to if this BP holds up very solid already.
At first I was skeptical of whether or not I needed this level of quality in a tripod to do what I needed. I am an avid western hunter chasing bears and antlers in the spring and other big game in the fall. This last spring I went with a much cheaper tripod and did okay. Having now used the Tricer AD in the field I can confirm it is well worth it. The AD is solid, easy to deploy and makes my glassing 100x more stable than my last tripod did. If you are on the fence and thinking of going with anything else for a tripod, I'd encourage you to save yourself the time and headache and get Tricer.
