Buy recommendations Rifle tripod recommendations
Looking to get into PRS and trying to figure out what tripod to go with. I’m seeing options from Leofoto, RRS, FatBoy and Vortex.
What are you guys running/recommending, and where are you buying them in Canada?
I’ll mainly be using ARCA, but it would be nice to have the option to use rifles without an ARCA rail as well.
Not looking to cheap out, but also don’t want to spend RRS money if something else gets me most of the way there. What would you go with?

RRS is the top tier, no question. I’ve been using a TFCT-34 for 6 or 7 years now. For my uses (mostly field match use and hinting these days but also spotting at PRS matches), it’s the perfect compromise between weight, stability and length for packing. The Anvil-30 is the undisputed champ for ball heads for shooting clipped-in. They are really expensive though and honestly not really necessary for actual PRS (where most of your use will be spotting or rear support). All of the other shooting specific tripods are made in China and many are OEMd by Leofoto which is a greasy, IP stealing chicom corporation. The ones sold by North American brands (Two Vets, Fat Boy) are imo a much better option than directly supporting Leofoto 🤮
