Great compact tripod. I use this as a rest anytime I can't use a bench to zero a rifle, crossbow, or even my air rifle. Works well in for hunting in and out of a blind. With endless adjustability of the leg sections, it comes in handy while hunting off the ground or on uneven terrain. After using it for awhile, the only down side I have experienced is the leg sections sometimes get stuck. That maybe partially due to me over tightening, not sure. The legs twist to lock in. However, the issue is easy to overcome. I found by tapping the foot of the stuck leg, it loosens right up. Other than that I might add a small bungee or tie to help keep a rifle and the tripod to aid in left or right side shots.
