How much does your Tripod weigh???

[Soup]

Gents,
For those using a tripod what's the weight of yours with the ball head & saddle.
I just bought one and the pod by itself is about 5 pounds. I've never used one before so
I'm looking for some feedback.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
Semper Fidelis

My lighter one is in the 6-7 pound range. My heavier one that has a cradle that holds the rifle is a toad at 13 pounds.

I use the aluminum bog Pod Death grip its at about 8 1/2 pounds. They make a carbon fiber one that weighs less.

I'm using an old Bogen tripod I stole from my camera closet, with a Manfrotto ball head and Mini Arca Swiss adapter. Altogether it weighs in at 6 lbs 8 ounces.

I have two CF bog pods. You can find them on sale at times for decent pricing. 6.5 pounds

I recently ditched my tripod and went to the Swagger bipod. I got tired of the extra weight plus the noise from it hitting other gear while slung over my shoulder at night.
It not as stable but it’s easier to get to a stand quietly in the dark.

I use an aluminum d grip, 63, no issues carrying it at night. Even wearing snowshoes. May need to lighten up in the future.

Slik Pro 700 DX

The Slik has worked out really well for me. It weighs in at 5.5 lbs without the level head.

In the past I used a sling to move it around in the fields for PD, but now it goes in a box with other gear and the box is attached to a game cart. Makes it very easy to move your stuff around quickly.

K9, can you go prone with it? Do you shoot sitting in chair or just standing. Considering hauling my tripod with for pd.

I don't shoot prone anymore due to bad knees. I know the legs will go out horizontally, but I haven't tried it. I cut the center post since and have a pig saddle that I put on the cut off. When in the field I like to shoot standing. The longer I'm in the field standing, my knees start to ache so I switch over to a chair. Folding chair fits nicely on the game cart.

Top one is a Leofoto LS-364C and weighs 5 lbs on the nose.

The bottom one is a Leofoto LS-324C and weighs 4 lbs 1 oz.

Both have leveling bases, Arca clamps, & cell phone holders for the remote.

I’ve switched to the fatboy traverse and its stability is unmatched!! Just so rock solid. Comes in at 7lbs 12oz with head.

3lb 10oz with ball head.
Tripod is a discontinued aluminum bogpod.
5lbs lighter than the deathgrip bogpod I returned as it's heavy.
