Spotting Scope Tripods

27 February 2005, 21:36

What are some good tripods for spotting scopes. I am looking for a quality tripod that is light and compact. I currently use a SLIK compact model and would like to get something with a little more quality. I see some on Hunting shows that have a vertical handle and use a trigger to make movement. Anybody have info on this model?

We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!

I know manfrotto make very good tripods and they have a lite weaight range called the "Digi" series, I have one for my camera and if I add a spotting scope I reckon I might be able to adapt it to fit as there are a variety of heads availble to fit manfrotto tripods.
