I'm after a decent weighting tripod, what are people using and what are your options on the one you have?

I have the Daiwa one.
Legs fold in half meaning it packs down short.
Doesn't weigh much either.

Sometimes it can be a pain to hang the scales on the hook at the top, you have to twist the hook so the opening isn't facing one of the legs. Minor gripe though.

I got it for £25

I use the Cygnet jobby as it is more adjustable / versatile than the other offerings from Daiwa etc I.E uneven ground .

Weighed Cats to 131lb with no issues.

I like you picked up the Daiwa one second hand and pleased with it.
Got round having to turn the hook between the legs by putting a snap clip on the scales loop and then no more issues.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
