In my own personal opinion, there is no better tripod/head system out there for a hunter than the outdoorsmans.

I have the outdoorsman pan head which is great. I don't like their tripod or pistol grip head though. I bought a carbon Gitzo instead. Lots of great tripods for the same money or even less. I would definitely do some looking. Regards, Branden

Anyone who backpacks and wants a solid, lightweight setup would benefit from an outdoorsmans system. Individual pan and tilt locks are ideal for grid glassing, or any kind of glassing really, over a tenting style lock. Flip locks on the legs are easy to use, even with gloved hands. The multiple leg positions are amazing at getting the tripod set just right to bring the glass to your face, which is key in combating eye fatigue and neck cramping. Lastly, there is no plastic anything on these things. That has always been my complaint with other setups. Plastic flexes, flexing creates wobbke, and wobble creates a blurred image. This is just my so take it for what it's worth.
