Heavy spotter tripod/panheqd Combos

[JBHunt_3]

What tripod and panhead combinations is everybody running on for large spotting scope ~85+ mm and how do you like them?

I just picked up an STX 95 mm, I have been running a benro S2 on a Slik 634 for about 5 years and it has worked well with 65 mm size scopes. I think I can make that setup work with this 95 but I’m just seeing what else is out there.

I would just upgrade the head to the Benro S4Pro. Will hold more weight , is not much bigger and is very well made

Is the S4Pro compatible with the same plates that the S2 uses?

Yes, the same size plates

Just picked up a leofoto SA-363CX+MA-40X a couple weeks ago. Hoping to shoot over the weekend a bit and see how it fairs but initial feeling is quite good. The head feels especially nice for the price.

I run the Alpyn triple threat tripod with a va-5 head for my 85mm zeiss gavia. Rock solid. I hunt the desert which=lots of wind. Haven’t regretted it yet.
