Anybody have experience shooting off of their lighter weight optics tripod in the backcountry? Having a small arca swiss rail added to my stock. Typically shoot from just a bipod, but sitting with treking poles is an option as well.
Have a promaster xc525c, figured I'd see if the promaster head can hack a 10lb rifle. Would not be a primary means to shoot, but thought in a pinch, maybe steep inclines, it may be more stable than prone or sitting/kneeling trekking poles.
Figure someone has been down this road already? How did it work out? Eventually a RRS tripod will be on the list for the range, but doubt I'd ever lug that weight around in my pack.
