Ergorest

[stevo]

Anybody using one the above?

If so what do you think of it?

I have seen the reviews & am thinking of getting one but am wondering if it`s worth the money.

Thanx Steve.

Dunno if it helps much, but it's a start...

I have an Ergorest!

I have used it as a window pod and have found that it's quite sturdy enough for this purpose. The only problem I have had is that with the necessary added ballhead the scope ends up a little high-up for digiscoping. I guess this is more or less an issue depending on the ergonomics of your vehicle.

It also serves as a decent low-level tripod.

I have not used it as a "chest pod," although I gather it can be utilized for this purpose.

Overall, it's a very nicely made, versatile piece of equipment.

I am looking at the Ergorest because i`m finding that now that i`ve got a teleconverter the double beanbag I normally use just doesn`t support the camera & lens well enough.So a lot of shots are coming out blurred I know an IS lens would probably help but I can`t afford it at the moment.

Regards Steve.
