Tripod on a budget

[Caliminer]

Can anyone suggest a good tripod for glassing and digiscoping, something sub $200 and light?

Good or cheap, pick one. The option left is to search for a known good tripod at a cheaper than new price= used. The classifieds here would be the first place I would look. Good luck.

Look into manfrotto’s options.

Slik if light and glassing seated. Might pick up 632 for $200.

Sirui if not so light and larger optic needed or wanting to stand and glass

That's a tough price point. If you will be using a spotter for digiscoping u really need a fluid head. Will you be sitting, standing or both?

What I'm currently running and its solid set up. I got mine on a sale but still within your price range
