Was wondering if someone could steer me in the right direction.  I'm looking for something lighter, that would work in swampy willows.  Doesn't need to be very high, maybe six feet off the ground.

Gorilla Pod.  Small, light, and you can wrap it around tree branches or whatever is handy.

He's looking for a tripod platform stand,not a camera tripod.

Check out nachez.com for good deals on stands.

JimB-Yeah, I guess he is.  Suppose I ought to have read his post a little better!

Summitt XPod, I don't have one or ever hunted from one but sounds like it will fit the bill.

Thanks all.
