How long will it last and will the legs spread for low macro shots (if so, how much)?

You put this tripod from up to very close to the ground for a macro picture. Don't worry, that will help you a lot.

very durable. about two feet is the lowest it will go due to the lenght of the center rod and your ballhead height.

I have never tried it for that, but it's worked great for everything I have used it for. I love mine! It'll be heavy, so if weight is a problem, it might make it harder to get action shots in a hurry.

Ashley. I suppose I could trig this question out and let you know. My particular tree the latter is set at about 20 degrees, it depends on the ground, tree, ect... This was my first ladder stand, and I am happy as heck that I got it. Set against the same tree I sat under for over 15 years. I would reccomend you have someone help you set it up, it all depends on the other conditions, and the way I set this one up, will be different from the next one I set up. Get help with it as I did. I am pretty crippled up and needed help anyway. I can't reccoment an angle, I'm sorry. I will suggest some heavy rope and something to tie onto it, so you can rope any branches sticking out and break them off. I am not a paid review guy, but I will suggest getting some sort of wrap around blind, or burlap to tie off to the rail. Archery or rifle, if you cover it from the shooting rail down, all any deer will see is from the shoulder up. I prefer the large stands just for one person, but they will be comfy for two. Also, and extra ratchet strap sill be nice, especially if your like me and don't use a harness. If you use a harness, I would reccomend a different on than what is provided. The ones you get with it are good, but a little constricting, especially for a guy. I've seen harness' out there that you can wear as a vest. In Wisconsin, one of three people take a dive out of the stand, so it's up to you. I don't use one, but it would be smart to use one. I don't know if you are using a gun, standard bow, or crossbow. So depending on that, you can reverse the shooting rail higher or lower. I will be buying two more of these, they rock! This is my 26th year hunting. I've shot 20 deer sitting on a bucket at the bottom of my tree. Now that I'm elevated, I've seen much more. In my tree, the base of the ladder is appx. 12 feet from the tree, but it is all terrain specific. This stand for the money is amazing. I will buy at least two more for next year. Good luck!

An estimate of how long it will last mostly depends on usage. Under most all circumstances, it should last at least a couple seasons. You can also place targets over the face of it and primarily use it as a backstop. It's well worth it though!

Pretty good I suppose. If using the front rubber bands and the arrow it comes with. It should shoot pretty far.

The unit is very durable and saying this does not mean it will only last 5000 shots. Many of the parts are replaceable but chances are you will use it until it wears out and replace it.

A lot of messing with it! Set it up with like 5 minute intervals, it'll take a lot of pics but you can shorten the interval and it only needs to be off ground for deer of maybe 3' seems to shoot a bit high good luck

Probably for a while but I wouldn't recommend it, especially if you're shooting something with a recoil.

I have had mine for over ONE FULL YEAR now.so I know it will hold up over time.There are CHEAP imitations out there that will not hold up like the XShot.Don't waste your money on those cheap $8 - $12 no name monopods.you will get ripped off and wish you had gotten an XShot instead.I know this because I first got a cheap $10 no name and it was an unusable hunk of junk.Now that I have an XShot I am very satisfied. Do not buy the cheaper ones!I use my XShot all the time. I never go out on a video or photo shoot without it. I use my XShot in all my YouTube Videos on my channel ......

I have not had any problems. It shoots well. It breaks bare skin. Never had a jam. I have just used it for shooting targets. No turnaments. Hope that helps.

Definitely. I own four cameras, three of them more expensive than the G16, yet it is the G-16 that is my go-to camera for macros. It's far ahead of the other cameras I have for this. I have several tripods but have got excellent macro results with bracing as well.

Very useable, do not nit pick too much. .177 and .22 are good for 60-75 yards both within a quarter size on target. Get the revised version and In the xl if you want more power a cleaner trigger. But ZERO complaints from me

It'll be about like shooting a 17-35mm on a full-frame camera. Bigg3r concern is Sigma quality. I've had two of them where the shutter started to stick after 2 or 3 years, and Sigma no longer made parts for repair. I'm sticking with Canon from now on.

I'm using with Elite Force HK SL9 purchased in airsoftmegastore ago 1 month ago.My best hit was the 230ft (70m) with a little clearing in sight, I needed three shots to hit.I used 0.25g king arms because I had no heavier BB. I want to test with 0:30, 0:36Also swapped the barrel for a JBU 6.01mm - 650mmshe chrono 470fps with 0.20g

Yea it's on for life. It took me putting my knee on the guns and using my weight to get them lose. I set the guns on something soft so I didn't damage them. With that said I no longer have that set due to defective guns. Went through 3 kits and said that was enough. Wish you the best of luck with them.

I bought it as a prop for movie sets, but as an airsoft player we messed around with it first. the FPS is okay, probably a good 20-25 meter effective range, which you could improve with a few minor tweaks. But the frame is weak and the stock broke after it had been dropped on a film set. This is a mess around in the backyard or use as a movie prop quality gun.

I can run a C MORE typically for 10 to 16 straight hours. I don't change out the Battery but once every 6 months. And I shoot every week. I LOve the C MORES. Get the Aluminum one though. They run Better. I endorse the Product, and I teach Tactics for a living. For the Price, its the best on the Market. If you have the Money, Run an ACOG. if you can't afford an ACOG, go with C MORE
