[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1202924, member: 30902"] The angled spotters have a big advantage when you are on the ground using a short tripod especially from a prone position. You can get an awful cramp in your neck trying to use a straight spotter from such a position. Cabela's carries some decent window mounting units that work with a broad range of scopes. When it comes to a big tripod to use for standing or sitting in a chair you really want to go with something that is a high quality unit that will provide absolute steadiness. At high magnification even the slightest wobble can really mess you up even causing motion sickness for a lot of people. What I did was to pick up a leupold short tripod to use on the ground and from the bench and manfrotto graphite model to use for sitting/standing. I can't remember the model number for the tripod or fluid head but I could pull it out and get them if it would help you out. You will definitely want to get the quick release mounts to make it easy to change from one to the next. [/QUOTE]
