Tripod for Zeiss 20-75x85

[93trojan]

Just bought myself a Father's Day present! Got a demo unit from cameralandny for a nice discount. I was surprised to see the costs of the zeiss tripods. I'll get one if necessary, just wanted your guys' advice before I make a purchase.

Thanks in advance

Should have been more specific. It is a straight body to be used for hunting. Sitting would be the most often position being used.

That's a large/heavy spotter and will require a steady/heavy tripod to get the most out of.

For a large/stable tripod I would buy a Manfrotto 055XB and put a Manfrotto 128 RC two way head on it. Cost around $250.
