Tripod for backpack hunting

[paleraider]

The Sirui T-1005X might be what I end up getting reviews seem to be pretty good on it and its only around $116 on Amazon right now! S & S Archery suggested the Benro S2 head on a Slik tripods. Anyone have any experience with the Benro S2 heads vs Outdoorsman Micro? The Benro is about half the cost of the outdoorsman so if they are similar I might go with the Benro.

I have no experience with the outdoorsman but I do have the Benro head and it works very well for glassing and photo's.

I too use the Vortex Summit SS at 1.8 lbs total including their small ball head. I use it with a Meostar S2 85mm spotter over 60oz, and have zero issues. Going on the 4th season I think. (SS-P was not out when I got the original SS).
