The weight rating usually refers to the weight the ballhead will support with out moving rather than the weight loaded on the tripod before it will colapse. There will be a point where the weight centre is too far out from the ball head and it will slowly droop. Large camera lens have a foot so you mount the lens to the ball head instead of the base of the camera body to get a betterweight distribution.
I have HW100 with an arca rail and tripod to go with it. The ball head is honestly quite a lot of hassle, I use pan / tilt fluid head, much better imho.
Found it not bad like compared to some very informative cheers for the video the arca swiss rail u put on the 9015 is that metal or 3d printed thanks once again 👍 😀
Excellent, I converted to tripods last year, standing, sitting and on the bench. Invalid innovation 😂. My shooting bench has 4 40mm holes drilled through it, just so I can lower the central pole. Without butchering the tripod. If you have a link for that exact tripod, I'd appreciate it. I'll risk 42 quid😊. Works for me.
Artcise dt70 mate.and the long 30cm rail was a generic Ali one off the bay too. It's super robust especially at that money.. I'm sure you'll find it a good deal 😉 I've just chopped the central post down to it's min Insertion.its way more rigid now
Hi, I just watched your vid and was very impressed, so jumped onto ebay to look for one, only one I can see is from China at £63 so I think someone has been quick on the up and bumped the price up 😂, if you have a link to the one at 43 I'd appreciate it, keep up the good work m8
Well, it's Benchrest Shooting, but neither ISSF/NSRA or WBSF/UKBRA standard, and would be considered cheating using that tripod for either, but it does look extremely stable, prolly very good for pest/vermin control, doe box, or a high seat. You'd be surprised at the difference between ISSF and WBSF rules, ISSF is more about the gun butt only supported by you in the left-hand/right shoulder (or vice versa) on a firm flat surface which isn't holding or guiding the forestock or recoil, and WBSF is all about managing recoil, guiding the forestock on a sand filled bag surface and sides, and the same recoil guiding of the butt on a sand filled rear bag and in your shoulder. I shoot both competition standards, with the WBSF being the most expensive in terms of shooting equipment, particularly tripods, which might range from homebrew to several hundred quid for ISSF, and several hundred to several thousand quid for WBSF. So £42 appears a bargain.
@@tillysgunstocks sorry ,been having issues with YT. piccatiny on the rifle. so would need a way of getting the arca on the mount to fix on the rifle picca extension rail,thank you
Playing devils advocate. If you are cheating and using a tripod or bipod. Are you truly as accurate as you think you are? I'd say not... The only time you can claim your accuracy is if you hold the gun and shoot without 'stability' aids. What that is, is another crutch for those who cannot shoot.
When I was up to 50 I would think, I could out shoot most, with open sights, or scope, I was told I was a natural shot, with either rifle, pistol, shotgun. Now I'm 72, and although I'm still a pretty good shot, I need to use a rest, wait till you get to my age you won't be so keen to call those of us who use a rest, as you'll find you'll need one, yeah I said I'd never need one as well
@@tillysgunstocks I had a similar sounding issue several years ago.. Pain everytime I lifted my rifle up to aim. I had an MRI... I had developed bubbles of fluid in my tendons... The large bubbles were reduced with a needle and syringe via guided x-ray. Painful as hell BTW. Te rest was literally a case of... Rest dont do anything to aggravate it and it will eventually get better. It took a couple of years before I could shoulder my rifle again. I didnt shoot at all, I just put them in the rack and left them there until I was better.

Brilliant as a one handed shooter that's a game changer
Thanks for the great videos.
Seeing more rifles coming with Arca rails fitted, so looks to be worthwhile with the right tripod.
Yep it's a welcome addition mate especially when combined with uit and mloc for accessories. Hopefully all the manufacturers start making the jump😉
Thank you for the information.
I bought just the ball head from same manufacturer and replaced the clamp on my big death grip bipod and am very happy
Is it one the larger diameter ones mate? I've seen they do a whole range ,they all look pretty solid....
@@tillysgunstocks iirc the ball was 34mm, was a simple swap to remove clamp and replace with ball head 1 bolt a few washers and a spacer

@JorgenKesseler How did You attached the Arca rail to the HW100? Where can I buy such a setup? Thanks!

As a novice can I ask, is there a known adapter from picatinny to arca?
Which way are you wanting to go mate?

Cant find it on ebay. help help help
However
If you want a tripod for shooting off check out fat boy its almost like cheating 😅
20x more tho.
@Steve_7867 sadly yep buy once cry once

Given I can barely support the fore end of a rifle in my left hand nowdays ,I'll take all the help I can get...
