Help me improve my spotting scope set up

[Loper]

What are you hunting for? Are you counting points? That could impact a suggestion. Definitely suggest a tripod/head upgrade but not sure if a spotter upgrade would be worth it. I haven’t used your tripod setup in particular but this year I made a major upgrade to my tripod setup and realized low quality tripods don’t even support binos well compared to good ones

I’ve been hunting elk for the last 5 years. I’m not counting points.

What tripod/head did you have and what did you upgrade to?

Put a VA5 on the Summit. I like the summit legs actually. Light and quick to use. They work great with a Sirui VA-5. I had ZERO issues with that setup confidently and securely holding my Kowa 77 before I bought a heavier tripod. Worked fantastic.

Also, upgrade your binos. The first step is ALWAYS to upgrade your binos.
