Going on a mulie deer hunt and probably my last this fall. I've got good binos and know you have to glass a lot. But don't have a tripod or mono pod. Not trying to be cheap as much as I'm trying to save space and weight. I'd like to make something to use my trekking poles as a tripod. I can either use a buddies or cut a branch or carry something extra for the 3rd leg. I know they make some you can buy for this but in my opinion like most outdoor items they are extremely over priced.

I'm sure many on here have made their own set ups for glassing that are ultra lights.

Let me know and thanks!

Not a tripod, but I'd saved this post for a trekking pole monopod style mount which seemed nice. Me, I simply rest the Binos on the trekking pole (sitting with pole at 45deg angle) for stabilization which works far better than nothing at all.
