[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 2045340, member: 113623"] They certainly rate higher than your stated price point. RRS makes good stuff, but they know it, and you will pay handsomely for it. Its hard to say universally if a company has overbuilt tripods, because they make different sized and designs to handle different loads. Look at the weight ratings for the individual tripods to find something in your target area. I can tell you right now RRS on the low end is going to be $800+ without a head for a #25 rating, which is probably overkill for your optics. RRS makes good ball heads but expect to pay a few hundred dollars more. If you are glassing then fluid/video heads are easier to smoothly manipulate, but RRS doesn't make any at a consumer price point that I am aware of. [/QUOTE]
