Thanks for the update. The idea of those ist really ingenious, but I thougt there are too many delicate parts in them. So I went with the Viper Flex Journey, which are built more simple but seemed more rugged to me.
Ha ha ha, you are so funny. That's a good one. That would be akin to saying that "aren't all cars basically the same?" Yes they all have wheels and get you from A to B, but how they do so and the features vary widely...as does the price. Same with shooting sticks. You need to figure out what's most important to you and go from there.
It's understandable to have that thought but with trying only 2 types of quad stick one being less than €100/£100 and the other being the aluminium viperflex they are worlds apart. Just the build quality and structural stability is vastly different. If your just starting out I'd recommend the aluminium viperflex. You get the build quality but it's not too awful on the pocket. I think somewhere between €/£250 - €/£300 not 100% these days tho
homemade quad sticks are better and will only cost about £15 to make from garden canes and afew nuts and bolts and they are so steady for head and kneck shooting
Useful, thanks. Was thinking about buying some but if they’re going to start falling apart after a couple of years, I think I’ll go with Viper Flex!
Thanks for the honest review.

As someone just getting into stalking. Aren’t shooting sticks all basically the same?

Tried them and went back to viperflex, upgrading to their latest carbon ones. Light, solid rest and well made. Paul@testvalleyvenison
