$400!??! I got a 12' tripod that's moveable by one fella (me) from Sportsman's guide last fall. I'm pretty sure I paid around $65. I remember it was less than $100.

You’d probably be better off just grabbing a lock on and sticks

Do you guys with the tripods put them against a tree in the woods? Or against a tree on the edge of a field?

How is this a new trend? Folks have used climbers and lock-ons with sticks for 20+ years. If it didn't work in a spot, move it. Move between morning and evening. Move if a front was coming in or something.
What's the trend now? Moving every couple of hours?

Clem, lock ons and sticks are super lite now. Guys are packing lock ons into the woods in the predawn and setting them up with relative ease for a morning hunt and then pulling them right back down to hunt somewhere else. Maybe folks have been using lock ons in this manner for years but it’s very popular now.

But the gear definitely is better and lighter, IMO.

I usually put tripods on the edge of a field. Sometimes your field of vision is extremely limited by branches, and if you can get out from the woodline a few feet you can double the "degrees" you can see from 90 to 180 etc.
