Stand for Labradar

[savageshooter86]

what are you using that is stable and easy to adjust?

I have the original stand they sold when first came out and it is terrible. Not solid and moves. Hate it

Looking for something better and will hold up the weight of the unit


Thanks

If you are shooting from a bench, their Benchrest plate works well. I use a rear bag as a weight to hold the unit down in high wind.
I drilled a second hole about 1 1/2 inches from the edge. It moved the unit closer to the edge of the bench and equal with the muzzle.

I use a sturdy Velbon tripod very adjustable and seems to be stable so far.

Manfrotto 190 or 055 work pretty darned well.

I use this: http://forum.accurateshooter.com/threads/new-style-base-for-lab-radar.3924363

On the benches at my usual haunts the muzzle projects a bit far off the front end of the bench. In this case I have a small rectangular piece of 3/8 plywood to use as an extension to set the LR on. I use either a sandbag or a 3lb lead chassis weight, leftover from my karting days, to counter weight the board. Works great.

Edit- same one that Ballisticdaddy referred to

That base that ballisticdaddy and rardoin linked to is the best ive ever used. Its a gamechanger and you dont have to remove it to put the radar in the carry bag.

See some guys using this including guys that bought the LabRadar base with their units.

I bought the old style base with my Labradar. That base was a piece of junk.

This is what I use. Never bought in on the big orange plate. @arkcomatt took my phone call, answered my questions and shipped fast.
I put the stand on mine and never have removed it, even when it goes back into the custom cut foam of the Pelican case I keep the unit in.

I like diy so I made my own, can even be mounted upside down and shoot prone near the bench

The goods news is that they more than made up for this by making it too large to fit in the carrying case .
