Copied from a Previous review, but I have the same issue.
At best this is a three star product, but the reason I gave it 2/5 is:
1. Arrived with bad stitching on the gun rest bag, so the filling was leaking out. The stitching on the velcro was also a bit hit and miss. Amazon were great arranging a replacement, so we'll see what the next one is like. At this price I would expect better.
2. The plate that holds the bag needs to be screwed on to the tripod base. I noticed that the screw protrudes through the plate and pushes directly in to the material on the bottom of the rest bag. This seems like a design flaw, as with a lot of movement / rubbing against the screw it could wear through the seam of the bag. I would recommend putting some tape over it, but it needed a better solution from the manufacturer.
3. At half the price I would be happy. But when you consider the flaws mentioned it's pretty disgusting that they sell at this price.
Unfortunately this is the only product I could find that would meet my needs (which may explain the high price), so I have little choice but to hope that the replacement has better quality control.
Good things...
The tripod is well engineered and feels solid. Good rubber feet and wide spread for great stability.
The quick release height adjustment is a good idea and works well for a table mount, practical in real use would be a different matter.
Max / min height has good range. If you shoot bench and find standard rest bags a bit low, this is perfect height.
Returning with additional Duct-Tape to keep the filling in situ.
