https://www.primos.com/shooting-sticks/pole-cat/pole-cat-tall-bipod-shooting-stick/PO-65483.htmlI've had a pair of these for many years and have used them to shoot whitetails out to 400 yards. Long before they were bought out by Primos. They work best when you can sit and lean back on something like a fence, tree, etc., but even a backpack or a friend will work. They also work without leaning on something, but noticeably less steady. You will need practice to learn how to lean or press into them and create stability.
Pros: light, compact, fits in a backpack, easy to deploy quickly.
Cons: Not as steady without a back rest.
https://www.primos.com/shooting-sti...hort-tripod-shooting-stick/PO-65812.htmlI bought these for my daughter to use 5-6 years ago and we have both used them successfully many times. I'd say they are marginally more stable with the 3rd leg, but we often find that the 3rd leg gets in the way when sitting on the ground. They are more suited to sitting in a chair or on a rock than flat on the ground. When sitting low, the legs have to be spread out wide and you end up with one or two of the stick legs outside of your legs and it can be slow and cumbersome to get set up. The trigger mechanism is nice for quick vertical adjustment, but is very over rated. I've had to make far more L/R adjustments and three legs are slower to move and adjust than two.
Pros: steadier without a back rest, easier to lean into and create stability, better for long sits or waiting
Cons: too big for a backpack, slow to set up
https://www.boghunt.com/pods/tripods/deathgrip-tripod/1099442.htmlMy daughter used one of these on a recent guided Oryx hunt and it's now on my Christmas list. They are fantastic, but I would not want to carry them on a back country hunt. I could see many uses for them sitting in a field or blind.
