I happen to own a great shooting tripod, a Bog Death Grip. But it doesn’t pack well for air travel especially with my crossbow and hard case.
Lots of hunters want a tripod that grips your bow or firearm like an extra hand. For several years the Bog worked for me with that vice like clamp. My search has found a new more compact tripod and clamp from Fooletu on Amazon. It has a saddle clamp and 360 deg. ball and height adjust from 25″ to 75″ high.

Pictured, is the new tripod holding my crossbow steady at chair height and stand up height. The clamp works great.
I can swivel and tilt at will. Cost $129.00 with a fabric case. That is a great price for the engineering that went into it. And it fits into my new hard bow case adding 4.4 pounds bringing my loaded bow case to around 40 pounds for air travel. See the fabric tripod case Below. Fits perfect in the case!


Safe Travels!
