What Hunting Tripod Do I Use - EDGE of the OUTBACK Tripod Walk-through

This is one question I get asked daily. So, I pulled my finger out, tested products and found something that I believe is highly suitable for the work I do. I figured others might also enjoy it, hence they are now available on my webpage for sale.
edgeoftheoutback.com.au/produ...
You can also get them from Hunt the Night in Melbourne if anyone wants to get hands on one down there.
Any questions please let me know.
I am a vertebrate pest control - contract shooter in NSW. For those wondering about the equipment being used, I hold the necessary permits and licences when working under paid contract in NSW. If seeking information regarding that, please check the FAR webpage for details in your state. All shooting is performed on privately owned farms, with exclusive permission granted in writing for paid services.
Please don't ask how much I earn or how to become a contract shooter. I'm not a business adviser, the requirements and information vary state by state. If seeking this information research your own states legislation. I get this question a LOT, and it's not a path I wish to go down on social media.

I'm sure the graphite helps alleviate the greasy kfc fingers touching the tripod too 😂

The greasy KFC fingers could be used to lubricate the ball in a pinch should it start to bind up.

Definitely helps with the lubrication. 😅😅😅

I'm a shooter - 35mm SLRs 😉 I was also a very serious hand-gunner. Gitzo are my tri-pods of choice for the SLRs but I can ever so easily recognise the amazing feature set of this tri-pod. Am pondering a new air-based shooting system to deal with hares and mistletow and this tri-pod just reeks of appeal. Great presentation.

Love the new tripod, just thinking with your haz tape for reflection to help locate it. Have you thought of a air tag? Just an idea, don't know how they would go when out of phone service though.

@EDGEoftheOUTBACK 18 күн бұрын

A huge amount of where I'm at is no service unfortunately. That and the tape is handy at shorter range in the head light too. Great idea though with an air tag.

@michaelfregoe5875 18 күн бұрын

I have a few questions related to cold weather use. Do the feet have ice spikes? Do the legs stick or bind while being extended/collapsed in wet weather below freezing? (Ice buildup on porous materials) Do the legs bend outwards when setting the tripod up through crusty snow? This question is hard to describe to those who have never experienced this particular scenario. As the legs puncture the snow crust before settling on what ground is below (10 cm or more), the holes in the snow crust will be of a lower diameter than the final diameter leg spread at ground level causing the legs to bend or bind on the snow crust. Rigid and secure leg joints are a must. Obviously the reason for these questions relate to the mostly snow and icy weather during our coyote season.

@EDGEoftheOUTBACK 18 күн бұрын

The tripods come with SS spike feet also. As for thick snow use, sorry, it's not that cold here to test.

@EDGEoftheOUTBACK 18 күн бұрын

I can add on reading your comments that the legs and attachments are very solid with hardly any flex. I don't think they'd open wider in snow at all.
