Athlon Midas Tripod CF32 Review

[@user-cn8vb9hh5z]

Thanks. I've ordered one on the basis of your review. Great to see the British desert DPM in use!

[@Moondog2A]

DPM is one of the best 2 color desert camo every designed. The MoD needlessly adopted MTD when they could have just tweaked DPM's color pallet.

I have the 36mm model and I absolutely love it. All the included accessories make it very much worth it. Beside being extremely sturdy when shooting from, bore sighting rifles are extremely easy now. Now I just need a rifle clamp for some of my hunting rifles. If I wanted one for hunting the 32 would definitely be on deck as well.

[@Moondog2A]

Please Subscibe. I'm 99% sure the 32 would handle my 308 but like you I need to get a clamp for that rifle. I'm going to experiment with a photo desk clamps before go back and repurchase that BOG Deathgrip I reviewed last year.

I have this same one - the wife bought it for me. Its a very nice and well made tripod.

Loved that weight/strength test - worth a like and sub just for that

[@Moondog2A]

Thanks!

Looks like a stout piece of kit. Not a fan of that particular camo pattern, but a rattle can will cover all the shiny bits. Thanks!

My thoughts exactly. But they musta gotten a huge discount on UCP fabric. Please Subscribe.

Great review! I’m trying to decide between this and the cf36. My main concern is if this tripod is tall enough. Everything I’ve found says the tripod max height is 65” but I’m curious if that at the top of the ball had or at the top of base. I’m 6’3” and just want to make sure it’s tall enough. Thank you for your input!

[@Moondog2A]

I'm about 5'6" so the top of the ball come up to my forehead at max extension. I'd go with the CF36 just to be safe.

The background music to this video is very distracting.

[@Moondog2A]

Sorry you don't like my music selection.

[@markwunderman9214]

@@Moondog2A In general I like your reviews, but as a septuagenarian I have difficulty picking out speech in a situation where there is background noise, e.g. music. Some KZbin videos use music in the introductions, but fade it out when the speech portion begins. Your older audience might appreciate this approach.

[@Moondog2A]

@@markwunderman9214 I have an admission, the reason I have background music in many of my videos is to hide the noise of my kids playing upstairs of my home office where I film. haha.

[@alexmason1387]

@@Moondog2A he’s not wrong. Good review, but the background music could be turned down.

[@brianalioto4729]

Curious whether you have tried this off a bench Like u would with a bipod Perhaps leaving the back leg long on the ground with the other 2 on the bench

[@Moondog2A]

No I haven't. But finding a bench that would work the 3rd leg sticking out seems like it would be awkward. And if you shot while standing instead of sitting would negate the benefit of shooting from a bench, no?

[@kevingetrich]

What’s shooting range is that?

What's the cost?

[@Moondog2A]

Street price between $430-$580 depending on retailer specials. Not cheap but neither is ammo nowadays.
