What is the “trail weight” of your spotting scope and tripod set up.

[buffsmoker]

I picked up one of camerlands pro master tripods. Seems very good but it is a bit heavier than advertised. Mine comes in at 43.5 oz.

Now I need to look into scopes.

I'm curious....which model Promaster and which head? I've been looking into picking one up myself. Thanks.

Gitzo doesn't make that class (00-series) of tripod anymore. It extends from 14-3/4" up to 28" w/ head. The old model was G0057.
