Spotting scope stands?

Looking to see what everyone is using and why you like it over other ones, this is for laying prone and using scope while shooting.
 
Ray Vin F stand. The legs are situated to stay out of the way of my arm. Add an outrigger and Eliseo head keeps the stand even farther away. It’s stable enough in moderate wind, heavy wind can make it shake a little. Eliseo makes adjusting the scope one handed easy.

Same setup I use. Works well.
 
Gear Buggy is gone byebye. Manfrotto with arm and a 15 lb kettleball hanging from weight hanger. Rock solid no shake.
 
the creedmoor sports stand works great
 
Gearbuggy.com.
Scroll bottom of home page contact Phil, Wayne’s nephew. Couple of us purchased components last year from him. Might take some time however we received our stuff.
 
I bought an Edelkrone and I added a nice little Manfrotto head on it and the whole thing is small and sits right beside me on the line and it's very unobtrusive.

 
I use the Giraud stand. I prefer the legs folding up straight up vs all pointing down then rotating up. Also, since the lock there are no loose washers to worry about that dangling leg.
 
Sadly Wayne Passed Away but his stands are the benchmark of beast and love mine. Never a regret. Understand the nephew was to be continuing the brand....best to call em. Rock Solid I use the quick mount scope attachment, the outrigger extension and the stuck case push rod. That rod has been of use at more than one match or practice for many folks.
 
There was a shooter this year at the NATS using a spotting scope stand that was like a surveyor’s tripod that the scope hung from, thus the legs were away from the shooter. Anyone have any idea which stand this is?

thx Diego
 
There is someone making Ray-vin scope stands. Unfortunately I don't remember the name of his company. He had them at Perry and was taught by ray-vin.
I use a Giraud and it’s great, but if someone is making the Ray-Vin F-Stand, I’d buy one. I had one and sold it years ago.
