I use the helinox chair zero. No complaints other than I have to be a little careful getting in and out of it.

I use a slik634 tripod and swaro stx95/65 and my EL’s with no issues for reference

I’m afraid I’d have to roll out of it lol I guess I’m thinking more of the stool type?

I’ve found that something that swivels or turns helps, mainly flat seating area. Light weight also because of packing into canyons that I hunt 3-5 miles? I’m @ about 45 lbs. now so like to keep as light as possible?
Getting great ideas and I appreciate all the help you guys are giving out..

I like a taller chair/stool for using the angled eye piece, much easier on the neck and back.

How did you order it?

I believe I bought it from B&H, online purchase for sure,, but it was awhile back. I know I have searched for others that have ask me about it. Most listings are for overseas sources now.

I have an REI stool. Super lightweight. Quick setup, very packable, and it was like $13 or something. I also have a Chair Zero, but it was $100 and I use that for lounging around camp instead of glassing.

What cover are you using? I’ve got the 95 with the angle eye piece.
I had another member here suggest a cover made here in Arizona. Here’s pictures of it on and I plan on doing a write up in the next few weeks after using it a bit ...
