I bought this tripod for my first elk hunt in Eastern KY. I love it! It is very sturdy. The only drawback is that you should have an idea of whether you'll be sitting, kneeling or standing ahead of time. If I'm stalking, I usually keep it fully extended and carry in one hand. Works great as a bipod too, just don't flip out the 3rd leg.
Pros: Sturdy, works standing, kneeling or sitting
Cons: Not so quick set up, noisy if not careful
