Tripod for binocular?

[johnnybow]

Do you typically use a tripod for binoculars when set up and glassing for elk? Or do you just rest on your knees?

I use a tripod for glassing on every hunt I go on.

I use it for a spotter - havent found 10x bins on the tripod to be worth it.

I use a bogs tripods to rest my 12x50 on and can also shoot off. $160 on amazon.

Agreed. Tripod is a game changer especially if you’re glassing big area for hours on end.

Yeppers.
Was gifted a bogpod tripod last year too.

 

[WildWill]

Carry my bog pod 90% of the time in the field to shoot off of. Added a quick detach mount for my binos years ago. I wouldn't call it necessary but it sure makes life easier.

Tripod with spotter - yes. Tripod with my 10x binos - not yet.

If I ever upgrade to a 12x bino, I think I'll go with a Tricer tripod and fluid head set up. Looks very lightweight and sturdy.

When glassing, I nearly always am using a tripod with my binoculars. It takes an extra 30 seconds to set up--and see a whole lot more.

The area I mostly elk hunt I don’t glass much due to how thick it really is. I still carry my binos just no tripod. If I hunted a more open area I’d pack my tripod every day

My wife today asked me what was coming in the mail. She can see we have 2 packages arriving tomorrow and she only ordered one. My response was a tripod accessory. By that I mean a pair of 18x56 uhd

Tripod when glassing big areas, didn’t feel it was needed until I upgraded binoculars (10x Leica). Now I’m annoyed if I don’t have a tripod, just miss details.

 

[Islander]

Tripod for me.

You sir have the steadiest hands on the planet

I can't do it at longer distances. We were glassing for bear last week. The area was 1000 yards away. There was no way I could spot anything with any detail holding it by hand.

Went to a tripod with the binos 10 years ago for extended glassing sessions. Game changer. I'm a bit of a gram weannie, but a tripod is worth every bit of added weight, in my experience. Makes glassing more effective, less tiring, and just better. More time behind the glass equals more game spotted for me.

 

[TOGIE]

yep never without, 10x or 12x.

hunting is mostly glassing, and glassing without a tripod well, frankly isn't glassing.
