The keys to tripod stability are:I'm curious what your opinion is on a very good tripod that would accommodate an 88 size(and head)? Like what would you say are some examples? I've considered the bigger binos, and they sound like they have a solid role to play out west. They'd probably work for my current hunting needs, but they won't fit my immediate range/shooting needs. I'll probably end up with 12-15x50+ bins in the future after I have some Western hunts under my belt.
Thanks for your thoughts!
-no center column
-fat leg tubes
-few leg tubes (so the smallest are as large as possible and fewer flex joints)
-material quality
Look for these characteristics within the brands that you are willing to spend on. RRS seems to be at least as good as anything else, American made, but expensive. I have heard really good things about Colorado Tripod company, other say Two Veterens' pods are very good (but not entirely American made). But really, I am almost certain that if you look for the above qualities in a reputable company with a good warranty, you'll get the most out of an 88 class spotter.
