[QUOTE="kiwikid, post: 1477041, member: 56094"] Trying to find accurate info on the Primos trigger sticks is very hard work. Before I bought mine I wanted to know what length it was folded so I could work out if it would fit in my day pack but no one has that measurement listed. They only list the height with legs retracted and open or extended and open. Anyway I have the Gen 2 short tripod and it weighs 1065 grams or 37.5 oz. For shooting rabbits and hares out to about 250 m/y I have found it good but I wouldn't try shooting a deer off it at 500 m/y, it just isn't stable enough for that IMO. It is very quick to use and I have had it for a couple of years now and it is holding up well. One thing I would like is some form of closed cell foam around the legs, if you carry it with one hand around the legs those bare steel legs are very cold in the winter. As DrillDog has said a good carbon fiber tripod would be better and it is a case of you get what you pay for. [/QUOTE]
