The 50mm spotting scope is great for looking at animals out to about 1 or 2 miles. And the weight is fantastic for trimming ounces. But I'm having a hard time finding a solid lightweight tripod.
Since I have an angled spotter I should be able to use a shorter tripod. I've been using the Vortex SS Summit tripod and would like to see what other people have used to trim weight. It extends to 54" and weighs 1.8 lbs - which is more than the 50mm spotter.
When I'm using the spotter I'm generally going to sit down and get comfortable. It seems to me that 30-40" would be plenty of height.
Can anyone suggest a lighter tripod that will still provide stability? And maybe a better option than the ball head that comes on the Summit SS?
