Shadow Tech, LLC PIG0311 Field Tripod, OD Green (Short)

This is my second Shadow Tech PIG0311 tripod. I run the tall version for my spotting scope (atop a Sunwayfoto TH-55G ball head) and the short version (with Hog Saddle sitting atop a Sunwayfoto TH-55G ball head) for my SCAR 20S. Bombproof setup for both. Zero regrets on the investment and the price is far cheaper than other high end offerings from the other guys. As long as you put a quality ball head up top, you won’t be disappointed. Note: This is not an ultra light setup that you would want to hump through the bush unless you’re in world class shape. There are better setups for that, but they will be far less durable and far less stable. Trust me, I know…🙁

A can of sunscreen got punctured in my ruck soaking all my gear. Everything was fine except this tripod. It obliterated the paint and now I have large sections of shiny, exposed metal. The mechanical function of the tripod is totally fine, just annoyed that I now have to strip and repaint the whole thing. A good hide doesn’t work if your tripod is a mirror.

This is the best tripod you can purchase as far as I'm concerned. Its robust but light and its in a great OD green color. Pair it with the Sunwayfoto GNN FB-52 that they also offer and yo have s solid combination.

great for coyotes
