Spotter/tripod set up for occasional use?

[DmrbigEshotT]

I try not to take the easy way out on here and post questions that have been answered several times, several ways, over several years, but after a couple days of reading threads, figured I’d throw my situation and question out there for input.

Use: Occasional rife range, once every 5-7 years a mule deer rifle hunt, once every 3-5 years an antelope rifle hunt. Yearly glassing in MI for deer and turkey’s. May move to NM in a couple years and hunt western game more often. Ideally use it as a shooting rest as well.

I deer hunt (archery and rifle) quite a bit in MI and use my binos often, so maybe it’s worth just upgrading my them with a decent tripod?

Budget ~$1500

Whatcha think?

Used Kowa spotter and a Tricer tripod and head.

56mm vortex razor and an Aziak front country tripod.

Plenty light for packing around the occasional backcountry trip, capable of standing height glassing, should be decent to shoot off, and it doesn't sound like you need bigger, pricier glass for counting rings.

What binos do you have now?

Are you going to use it standing? If your content with a shorter tripod, plenty of options will work while saving weight and money.
