Thread: Film: Spotting and shooting sticks

Have you tried the two stick setup instead of the tripod?

Thinking about making one, to much scrub around this place!

Yes, it is ok for kneeling/sitting position. I think the model I used was called "safari stix" or similar, collapsible and extremely lightweight. Ok for shorter range, I find that the tripod helps with balance as it will hold you when you lean.

Both work fine, just a little more versatility in the tripod. I also use the tripod when I need a "high bipod", that is prone with backpack under chest to get over the shrub.
