Primos Trigger Stick Gen 3 Tall Tripod

I've only used this tripod once but, so far, I am definitely impressed. It arrived in goodtime - the packing was very casual (but everything was okay) - and I unpacked the tripod. I have to say that I did not like the plastic packet sealed around the top which, as I struggled to open it, cracked into nasty sharp shards but - once the tripod was free - I squeezed the trigger and the legs dropped beautifully (and with a sort of well-made and positive 'thunk' sound). And then they were easily adjustable to suite uneven ground - so I went outside and did some shooting. As a shooting rest the tripod is very good but, due to the horrible weather at the moment, I haven't tried the low level settings yet. I also bought the camera mount (actually, I'm not sure if I bought it or if it came with the tripod) - but it is good (well, I think it is). It attaches via what they call the 'New Quick Detach Yoke System with Integrated Lock'. Strangely, the bolt that screws into the camera was too long for my camera but, beyond this, making the swap from rifle mount to camera mount was easy - and I liked it. It is a nice little addition to an already nice product. I like this tripod very much but on the negative side. 1) It isn't cheap. 2) I did not like the packaging. 3) It would be great if the tripod had a little storage thing for the camera mount. Maybe a little threaded hole somewhere - but ensuring the mount was always present. None of these detract from a 5 Star review. I will update this review if required.

Arrived in good time. Works brilliantly and cheapest price. The box was in bits when it arrived. I think everyone at dpd must have had their hands in the package, but they did tape it back up. Kind of.

I must admit that I procrastinated a long time before buying this. I mean the best part of £140 for a walking stick with a joystick on top! A lot of money, right? Well, if you'll excuse the pun, I bit the bullet and bought it. Wow! How incorrect can an initial assessment be? This thing is quite simply incredible. Whilst walking about it feels like a comfortable walking stick (says he who has never used a walking stick in his life). Point being it doesn't get in the way. Then you want to take the shot. Pulling the trigger seamlessly releases the legs to whatever length is comfortable for that shot. Up or down, no odds, easily adjustable with a very stable shooting platform! Gone are the days of wondering whether you can get an angle by leaning on that tree or fencepost over there. Gone are the days of wondering if you can make a clean kill from a standing shot. This is a perfect product. It come with an alternative to the vee shaped gun rest head in a camera mount head and I'm looking forward to using that too in the near future to stabilise a video camera. In summary, if you shoot pests and use an air rifle, .22 or .17 rimfire, this tool is indispensable. Get it, you won't regret it!

Why did you choose this product over others?: I thought I would save a bit of money, so I purchased what was advertised as a Gen 3 gun rest at a knock-down price. When it arrived, it was Gen 2 and not a Gen 3 which should have made the alarm bells start to ring. It worked to a degree, and I persevered with it, but it's failings soon revealed themselves. After my gun very nearly collapsed on me one night in pitch darkness, I ordered the genuine article, a Gen 3 gun rest made by Primos, not a knock-off, and what a fantastic difference the extra quality has made. Everything is now solid and predictable. The legs are no longer prone to creep, and my accuracy has improved. I learned a valuable lesson, knock-offs are a false economy.

Great product

Great stability and very easy to use one handed

exellent

Use them all the time weather around the farm with pcp or springer with some night vision or thermal and with HMR around fields. Light weight and added the 2 point rest, the trigger works great and legs extend smoothly, what i like about these next gen is the limiter that stops the legs spreading to far making it easier to use in the dark.

Ottimo prodotto, ho avuto un problema di rottura se vogliamo dire così...praticamente si era svitata la vite che fissa il manico al corpo che unisce le tre gambe e il manico si era staccato. Ho risolto smontando il coperchio del manico poi sotto ho trovato svitata la vite che ferma la leva di comando delle gambe. Quindi faccio ricombaciare il manico con la base sottostante dove ci solo le gambe estendibili e stringo la vite... Poi rimonto la copertura del manico e il primos e' tornato a funzionare perfettamente..

Muy bueno 👌
