DesertDug,
I haven't used one of those but it looks very sturdy and should work well for glassing and shooting over from a pre-et position.
The stability of the platform is what your paying for and when your glassing a long distance searching for game, it really does make a difference.
Two of my range buddies who were going on an African safari were trying lighter tripods and bipods to get practice with them. They allowed me to try both and
I shot better with the tripod but, since most shots on safari are made while trailing and stalking and the supports are set up in a hurry, they thought the three legs would be more difficult to get stable if they were forced to set up quickly.
In your case, that shouldn't be a problem, if you are set up in advance.
However, if you intend to use if for a quick set-up shooting support, it might be too complicated to get adjusted.
