Tripod for photography/glassing/shootings?

[bwp]

Is there a tripod that can handle a mirrorless camera, binos, and used for shooting off of for hunting situations? Small enough to pack, but still stable for the camera. What tripod and head would you all be looking at?

My current tripod is a artcise cs80c from Amazon. I also have the Va-5 head.

I’ve ran my slik 624 with Outdoorsmans pan all the way to 95 mm BTX. It’s a little overloaded, but it can handle it. I’ve shot off it before too, but no specialized head, just gripping it with my hand. It’s my main hunting tripod so definitely small enough to pack. I carry it in a Sitka day pack.

Budget for tripod and head? How important is weight?

$500 or so. Weight isn’t crazy important, but I don’t want a tank lol

I would look at the Revic Hunter Tripod and BH1L Ball Head. They are great for an all-around tripod for glassing and shooting. Together, they are a little over $500 but a great option.

If not those, I would look at other brands with similar specs.

Would that be a noticeable upgrade over my current setup?

The ball head would be way better for shooting because you won't have to level using the legs. I've never used the tripod you have, so I can't say how it compares.
