[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1160623, member: 64108"] The Summit is lightweight and has twist lock legs which are fast. In general lightweight is less stable but I think it's a good option for a lightweight setup. For heads I prefer a fluid pan head but the Bogen 128LP I use on my big spotter weighs more than this entire setup....but it is stable. I have the Vortex ball head it came with but would prefer the pan head as it allows one hand operation instead of on hand on the scope and one to lock the head. Not a fan of the pistol grip type, I prefer the joystick type like a BR rest. If you go with the Vortex get an extra quick release plate to mount your camera, rangefinder, or a rifle rest on the tripod. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
