Ballhead or leveling head?

Never seen a 2 leg but if you stand all the time as Kino does I am sure it is the best. Me, I sit most times on a swivel chair and sometimes on a Les Johnson seat so my tripod needs to get short and I can't see a 2 section doing that without spreading the legs way out which on my terrain could be difficult and/or disastrous. I am guessing you stand as most on here do but just thought I would throw this out.

There are several 2 leg section tripods on the market and several short models that are only 47- 47.5 inches fully extended.

RRS TVC-22I and 22I compact are inverted legs and the compact is 47.5 max and 27.63 min in lst position.

Leofoto Outdoors has a new tripod coming out thats a standard 66.14 inches max and 39.37 min in 1st position thats a 40mm inverted tripod with 2 leg sections. Its called the SO-362CX

Also a short model of the same tripod thats
47.24 inches for max height and 29.72

These 2 leg section inverted tripods should be really nice for Coyote hunters with only having 3 adjustments and not having to get down low to adjust on Steep Hilly Terrain like i have here in SouthWest Corner of Virginia.

Kino is giving good advice ! I’ve had a Fatboy and Levitate head for a little over 6 weeks now and it’s far superior to the other tripods I’ve used.

Good to hear as I just ordered the Fatboy and Levitate head. I have a match in three weeks and hope it gets here soon so I can get some time with it before the match.

TX, It’s heavy but very steady to shoot off of.

Hope you enjoy it ! Good luck at the match !

Yeah i have a Two Vets tripod with DLow 55 ballhead and RRS Clamp and i also have the Warrior tripod and Chief leveling head ive had for alittle over a year now!

Looking to get a inverted set of legs and maybe another leveling head from a different company.

I will probably end up selling one of my tripods as i dont need 3 sets!

Let me know if you sell one! Old post, I know.
 
I just picked up a FatBoy Elevate 2 section and their Levitate head..this is my 1st tripod…I used my cousin’s spare Bog Deathgrip a few weeks ago on a few sets, and it’s is a world of difference with the FatBoy. I felt the Bog was okay, but no comparison.
I haven’t used the FB in the field yet.
 
I had a ball head on the first tripod I put together. I just did one with a leveling head and had it to the range Sunday, i like it better. I don't use a tripod often but keep it and a rifle set up with a plate in the truck.

I also set up my spotting scope with a plate so I can use it on my tripods.
