If you have a pretty set way of making a calling stand (for instance, you pretty much always stand, or pretty much always sit, thus needing a fixed height), then the Bog Pod is nice. On the other hand, if you're like me and don't know whether you'll be sitting or standing from one stand to the next, the ease of adjustability offered by the Trigger Sticks is an asset. That said, I think I like the Gen1 better since the top yoke is fixed. The yoke on the Gen2 tilts side to side, which I don't like at all. Also, I recently wrapped my TS in that cushy vet wrap, which seemed to make them quite a bit quieter.
