[QUOTE="Coues Sniper, post: 200792, member: 9377"] esshup, The tripod i use is a "Manfrotto (Same as Bogen) 055MF4 magfiber". The head is a "700RC2". The head is a bit heavy, but the legs of the tripod are very light. Plus, I can extend it up high enough to glass standing up (I'm 6'-0'). I've also shot off of it standing up which can be pretty handy in tall brush :cool:. Overall I'm very pleased with it. Only problem i have had was one of the feet came off which allowed the bottom leg section to go up into the bigger upper legs and i had to take it apart to get the leg back out. A little duck tape fixed that problem. As far as glass goes, [U]don't scrimp there[/U]. Save as long as you need to and get the Swarovski's. They are simply 2nd to none, and their service is the best there is. They have overnighted stuff to me on a Saturday for free when i scratched my 15's before a hunt for nothing, fixed them for free too even though it was my fault. They've offered loaner pairs when they were out of a part (my fault again). And everything always came back completely cleaned and reconditioned with new eye cups... Just awesome. And meeting with Kirby will defintiely have you shelling out some coin :D. I've been talking with him about a build I want to do and i just can't save fast enough :mad: Good luck, Kevin [/QUOTE]
