Take a look at "The Ultimate Tripod". I bought mine from Hart & Sons. The rest is easily 100% sturdy to 600 yards or farther. It is very "portable". It even comes with a padded shoulder strap.
The tables are OK, however in WV they are pretty much worthless. They may be great for flat ground. However in the places I hunt there is way too much adjustment needed. With the tripod I have you can literally hunt in any terrain, and at any angle--up or down. You can use it from a sitting or a standing position. And to repeat my above comment-it is truly "portable". If a ground hog comes in behind you it just takes 10 seconds to pick up the tripod, and spin around. With my Kawasaki Mule I am truly portable, and I am a handicapped fellow. Tom.
