Do yourself a favor and don't get the outdoorsmans. I spend over 150 days a year behind a tripod glassing and the outdoormsans lasted a month in my pack. The legs stick, the head is tough to get adjusted, pieces constantly coming loose, just not all it is cracked up to be. Look in to a promaster xc328. I use that tripod with a manfrotto 501hdv head. I can run anything on that tripod. I use it for my kowas, 15's, spotting scopes, shooting rest etc. It is lightweight but sturdy in the wind. I don't hate outdoorsmans stuff, I use a lot of it, just not a fan of their tripod.
