Bog Pod and Vortex Razor HD

[mcclaskey78]

Has anyone tried using the bog pod spotting scope adapter with a vortex razor spotting scope? I like the idea of only carrying one tripod that I can use as a shooting rest and a spotter tripod but I've seen a couple of reviews where people have had trouble with this set up and the new razor hd. Any insight or thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks

I have the bog pod camo legged devil and the tripod adapter. The bog pod itself is pretty nice, relatively light, and pretty stable. The tripod head kind of sucks though, I ended up getting an adapter and a bot and just out a small fluid head on it. I can't use the shooting saddle now, i have thought about getting one that goes on a mounting plate for the head. If I could do it all over again I would try to find a decent tripod, probably carbon fiber, like the ones on Amazon around 100 bucks, with an acceptable fluid head that uses acra swiss mounting plates.

I was looking at this same set up, so I am anxious to see what feedback comes in.

Love Bog Pod for shooting but tripod adapter isn't worth it. I carry a tripod for spotter.

I know this is old but I totally agree with above comments.
I love it for shooting where I hunt. The grass is chest high sometimes so an extra long tripod is very helpful for standing shots. However, the spotting adapter is terrible. At 1000 yards it only has about a half a mile of play in it… That quick switch pin that holds the adapter into the pod does not fit very tightly… I’ve been dealing with it for a couple years, works but it makes you sick.
