Anyone use the Bod Pod camera / spotting scope adapter for your spotting scope. I carry a Bog Pod shooting tripod and spotting scope tripod when I hunt. Would like to lighten my pack
 
Here's my response I put in the Optics section, which isn't showing up for some reason:

"I use one and am quite happy with it. I am sure there are better out there and it is a bit heavy, but I can instantly either swamp between bino and spotter or bigger bino and then change to the fork for a shooting rest. I bought a few extra adapter plates to do that. Note that it is designed to pan horizontally easily, a little different than pan heads.

I'm a big fan of BogPod, enough that I bought the short legged devil just so it could fit better in my backpack. The downside is that I can no longer shoot standing up but I'm tall enough that I don't find that a useful position anyway. I prefer to shoot and glass seated so why carry the extra length and weight?

My tall version will probable just live in my range bag or I'll sell it off.

Any specific questions? It can support my 65mm Vortex scope easily."
 
I too carry the adapter for my spotting scope. It takes no time to switch to a shooting rest. I use the long legged devil and extend them out two thirds of the way and use as a walking stick at times. On two occasions I have shot bucks that could only be shot standing up because of brush and once in a heavy snow drift on a ridge. I think a High Country tripod or similar is more stable with the spotter but the BogPod does get the job done.
 
I agree about the stability. I was using mine the other day on the range with my spotting scope and max power (60x) was pretty bouncy unless I didn't touch the scope. But that's not that much of an issue for me and still like flexibility it provides me.
