[QUOTE="An Idahoan, post: 1200440, member: 95631"] I assume when you say you're going that route that you mean the budget choice. Either way, buying the tripod and head separately will require no additional hardware. Tools should be provided to mount the head to the tripod. If not, perhaps a common Allen wrench should be all that is needed. A 3/8" stud connects tripod to head and as long as you can open and follow a set of instructions, you'll be okay (this is when to actually read them). The head comes with one base plate, which is all you need. However, if you want to be able to put multiple items on the tripod (bino mount, rifle mount/rest, rangefinder, second spotting scope, etc.) then you're going to need to buy another [URL="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/878358-REG/Manfrotto_200PL_Mounting_Plate.html"]mounting plate[/URL] which should only set you back about $15. These mounting plates have the standard 1/4" / 20 thread that most scopes and cameras use. You could transfer the plate from one piece of equipment to another, but that defeats the purpose of the otherwise quick and convenient design. I would buy a plate for each device. Given your height, you should be just fine with that tripod in nearly every circumstance. I don't think you'll be disappointed! [/QUOTE]
