Made my own version of a trekking pole tripod for sheep hunting a while back. Used a 2x2" chunk of aluminum square tube. I ended up making smaller low profile knobs out of wood as the plastic ones I bought stuck out a little too much. The plan was to make a prettier one after I got the rough shape figured out, but that never happened haha. Wouldn't be sturdy enough for a spotter, but for bino's they were perfect

That's some nice work! You've made me want to try one but I never have a hunting partner to supply the other pole, ha!

What does it weigh. Looks very stable.
