purchased this setup, current version in 2018
I like the stability and the ability to accommodate wildly varying terrain but for F-class, i find that it does take up too much real estate, is too time-consuming to set up and you must make sure you get the right head (light or heavy) to match the weight of your scope plus cover. I purchased the lighter head that is specified for 4 pounds and, with my 82SV (4lb 4oz plus cover), the ball head will slip.

I’ve used Manfrotto’s products literally for years but for photography, not shooting. None have been a disappointment save for Very Last Item, a QR mount; steel thread adapter bushing disintegrated after a couple uses. Otherwise my only comment is that Monte’s rig would be trouble where firing points are fairly narrow.
