I currently have a somewhat heavy duty aluminum tripod that I use for shooting.  I want to get a carbon fiber version.  I also need 1-2 more saddles.

What are some good but not crazy expensive shooting tripods and saddles?  I’m currently looking at some of the BOG offerings.  I was also looking at their Deathgrip ultra lite saddle but it dose not seem to get good reviews for Arca compatibility.

Well done saddle for the money:
SUNWAYFOTO SM-76 Saddle Mount Rifle Gun Adapter for Tripod Arca Swiss QR Plate https://a.co/d/1lvmlJv

Add a decent ball head and your existing tripod or a CF tripod of your choice.

I was looking at that saddle last night and the opening width works for me.  Do you have any experience with this saddle?

On paper, that looks like a good carbon fiber tripod.  I see there are multiple sellers selling what looks like the exact same tripod under different names varying in price from $159-$325.

Do you have experience with this tripod?  I want something that I don’t have to worry about falling because of a malfunction and ruining an optic.

I have the Innorel, sunwayfoto ball head and leofoto clamp saddle. For all I have in it, I could have only got a tripod from RRS. It is all well made and does what I need.

I've got over 1000 rounds off of one using a bolt gun now. Couple of buddies are in the 250-500 range now. We are all happy with it. One of them even survived being the first point of impact onto concrete during an accidental 2 story drop...while mounted to a slik tripod and a ball head. Pretty impressive, especially for the money.
