What are some good carbon fiber tripods that you can throw in a pack for spotting scope. Lot's of them out there, just wondering what you guys are using..??
Thanks
They are in the next town over from me so I went by their main office and checked their stuff out. There's a reason it's so pricey...it's very, very nice stuff.
I think with this tripod and ball head combo I can get a perfect backpacking set up for a spotting scope that weighs 2.2 lbs.
I have the Slik 634, and I like it so far. I am able to stand up behind it and glass. It's only 2lbs. I got rid of my Outdoorsmans large tripod for it, and I don't regret it.
I am also in the market for a compact tripod. the ones mentioned above look good. any recommendations for small compact heads? would like something that would work well for glassing as well as panning for video.
LAST EDITED ON Jun-27-13 AT 10:40AM (MST)[p]Just ordered a Vanguard PH-111v 2 way pan head from S&S archery in ID. Going to be using it with Swaro scope and video camera.
I've got a Gitzo tripod, but its too big for packing. Need to pick up another set of legs for back packing.
