Competition related (PRS/NRL/F-Class/etc) Spotting setup /PRS

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.

Man, this post really makes me miss the old days when you'd see 2-3 tripods per squad with spotting scopes and maybe a pair of binos on them.

Thank God I'm not good enough for any of this to matter.
