Review Cormoran Beach Pod X-treme

My ancient Dave Docwra tripod weighs 1285 g. No telescopic stuff and as basic as it gets. Might be nice to have a tripod that packs down smaller but the rods I use are longer than the tripod so I'm happy to put up with that disadvantage.

Same here John..... my 30 year old parker goes down in the summer
 
Love my Shakespeare salt tripod - a bit heavy at 2.7Kg, but I've usually got it on wheels anyway.

@tdxs133pm So, how long have you had the Westin rod you won mate. ?

DPD delivering the Cormoran tomorrow morning. :)

First thing I will do is weigh the thing, conflicting info about how much they do or don't weigh, be interesting to see though.

Tidy Shakespeare Salt tripod & rod quiver for sale here on Gumtree today - £30 for the Tripod & £10 for the quiver, seems fair enough to me.
Already have both.

Tripod is here. First thing it weighs roughly 2.3kg, so not overly heavy, very well made, but you expect that from the Germans. Seems very sturdy to me, and packs down quite compact and goes in a nylon bag. Initial thoughts, very nice indeed.

Will have a better idea once i get to use it.

Loks a fairly sturdy bit of kit Ian, quite impressed. 👍👍
400gms (or 1Lb in old money!) lighter than my Salt.
Wondering what height it goes up to? I find the Salt handy if there is a lot of weed about as the 7ft height means you can get your rod tips above the waves, especially with Conti Rods.

It's also inpired me a bit - wouldn't take much to get another cup & 'V' rest (or even 2) and screw into the existing Salt bars!

Extends to 1.8m, more than enough for me. The centre column that holds the heads also slides up and down, another good feature.
Quality bit of kit in my opinion.

Ian.
 
One thing that I really like is that you can adjust the angle of both the heads and cups, very neat. ;)
