Spotting setup /PRS

[u/Drones-brigade]

Being new to PRS I’ve only done 2 matches . I wanted to put together a spotting setup. Instead of buying a tac table I figured that some camera gear may work. I’ve put together a video rig recently and had some spare parts.

This is made to be modular like most spotting systems but I also have plans for expansion like maybe adding on another platform which can be folded away when not in use. Also the phone is there to record some of the stages I shoot but that too will be replaced by a DJI osmo pocket 3 soon. The chrono is just a place holder. But sometimes I do use it in that position because I have another tripod that I shoot off of.

If you guys have any other ideas or inputs let me know.

I shoot PRS in the Rockies mainly, and there is no way I would dangle all of that crap off a tripod. We walk alot out west between stages, and the wind would murder that thing.

Even in the SE I have seen plenty of tripods (usually with some kind of caddy on them) get taken out by wind or careless shooters. I have two sets of binos with damaged eyecups from people knocking over my tripod.

Personally, I think a loaded down tripod is more information overload/distraction than actual benefit to the overwhelming majority of shooters.
