I went with the enduro ct014 legs, and the Giotto MH-5001 head. The legs @ 2lbs, for a full size, a good option IMO. Can't tell you about the head yet but it will be here in a couple of days. Word is that the head is smooth, strong, but a bit heavy. For the price that head is suppose to be good value. Good luck in your search.

I have a Outdoorsman tripod with a pistol grip and absolutely love the pistol grip and tripod. This is not a backpacking tripod and was expensive. I got tired of crappy tripods and bought one with few moving parts. I would love to find a tripod that is light and I could backpack with. I have a Bushnell to backpack with but it always has issues on every trip.

i got mine from london drugs- they seemed to have a great selection.
think its called traxx, light and has been good for a few years.

I have a vortex high country. It's light and for around $100 it's cheap. It's a great starter

I bought the SLIK CF624 with a three way pan head and love it. Total wt = 2lbs 6oz and folds down to 14". Cost if I recall was $~350.00. The only complaint I have is it can't extend high enough (44.7"), but for sheep hunting it will do just fine. A real joy to use compared to cheap tripods that I have used in the past. When I find the animal I can just tighten right on it, instead of adjusting for the tripod settling after it is tight.

This one has done me well leadpill......Corlanes and Backcountry have them.

I bought an Outdoorsmans with the pistol grip head this year. It is more expensive than the price range you listed but the quality and weight are fantastic. I was really hesitant to spend that kind of money but I got tired of replacing cheap tripods every couple of years and not being able to stabilize the spotter well in any kind of wind.

[Hammerhead]

Got the same one. I bought it as a starter I thought but ill use it again for this year. It's been good

[Hammerhead]

Last post was supposed to be about the vortex

[leadpillproductions]

Figured id see if anyone used anything new

[leadpillproductions]

What about tripod heads anyone using pistol grips

[604redneck]

I have the vortex high country and the summit ss I would reccomend the summit ss it's smaller lighter and sturdier

[leadpillproductions]

the summit do u like the ball head on it

Outdoorsmans medium tripod with the pistol grip is about as good as it gets. I have a Vortex and its pretty sweet once you learn how to center the image in the bottom of the scope and the wind isnt blowing.

[warnniklz]

I have tge summit ss... compact and light... but I find it little flimsy and the head doesn't stay tight.

That being said.... it gets the job done and I can pack it in my teeth with a small digital camera on it.

I have a vortex high country. I'm not one to shy away from dropping big bucks on solid gear but haven't been able to find a better lightweight tripod than the vortex. Anything more solid is too heavy and anything as light is not as solid. It's reallya marginal tripod but to carry a nice one is just too heavy.

I use a outdoorsman med with pistol grip, its a great tripod.. #3 with head.. I have a vortex high country also but not in the same league as the OD. Worth the bit xtra weight imo..

[hunter1993ap]

I have a manfroto pistol grip and its a monster. I hate packing it but sacrifice the weight for the rewards of easy spotting. I think with the tri pod it weighs just over five pounds. if I were to go on a sheep hunt I would leave the pistol grip and just take the small swivel head. hard to use but still works. cuts the weight nearly in half.

[sheep.elk.moose fanatic]

I use a sumit vortex with a manfrotto pistol grip ... Heavey but nice

[BiG Boar]

What yama49 said.

[Andrewh]

Slik pro CF613 w/ manfrotto 486RC ball head. I will NEVER use a different combo. Very light, compact, rock sold, twist locks and did I mention steady?
