I've damaged my shoulder and really struggling with weighing captures...please can you help and recommend a tripod to take a weighing scale?
I'm currently using Reubens digital if it helps..

Much appreciated
Chris

I've got a Daiwa infinity tripod. It doesn't adjust in height, but it's sturdy, cheap, and still looks like new after a few years.

Thanks for the reply will check out!!

Would one of those weighing crook things that fit on a landing net handle or suitable strong pole be any good for you and the injury,they seem compact..,

I've got the Cygnet tripod - adjustable, stable and as cheap as chips - does the job very well.

Another shout for the cygnet one - I only really use it in France tbh.

Has taken fish to high 50's without issue. I just find t hat every few days it need to be retightened a touch.

However they couldn't take a 210lb+ catfish

I've got the daiwa infinity one too. As said not height adjustable, but simple as it gets. Jointed spigot legs that automatically spring into position when opened up. I've had it many years and had UK cats up to 93lb on it.

Thanks for the replies will have a look at your suggestions

I originally made a tripod but they are a pain to lug about so I got a Gardner T-bar that screws into your landing net handle. Much less bulk.

The nash one is good but more of a heavy duty jobby

Yes I bought the Nash one years ago when it came out and I saw them demonstrating a 14 stone man hanging under it
mine has weighed Carp to 68lb and Cats to 120lb really solid well built bit of kit
no good to me these days I could do with swapping it for a smaller lighter one now that I mainly just fish for Barbel

I had the fox one delivered on Wednesday, non adjustable, folds down flat and looks up to the job, reubens fit it

Another shout for the daiwa infinity, does the job and spot on value for money

I have one the same as the Nash one (Carpzone?) but don't use it as it's quite heavy, use an old thick landing net handle with one of those weigh crooks and it does the job just as well

I have the cygnet one. Does the job, adjustable legs and reasonable price

I've got the fox one. It heavy but sturdy

I've never felt the need for a tripod.
I use a Cygnet crook, it came with a sturdy non-flexible pole. I feel more in immediate control if a fish starts flapping in the sling.

Them tripods are real handy if you don't need to lug them about to far

Mine has 50 kg of boilies on it over a week air drying, me mats for kneeling on and various other bits on that keeps them high up off floor from harms way, plus the weighing of fish and drying of retention slings etc

Wouldn't be without them, got the cygnet one too, both good

Good point about using them for drying stuff ... Very handy.
