[QUOTE="sitkastw, post: 2546477, member: 117348"] I use manfrotto carbon fiber tripods. From my experience I would sacrifice a few lbs for stability even on several day backpack hunts. The MT055CXPRO4 is my go to over any of the others I've used for spotting scopes, binos and shooting. In wet and rainy conditions with mud and sand I have better luck with lever locks and never had a failure like with twist locks. Just have to be coherent when hiking in brush with lever locks. I know they make tripods very similar to the manfrotto at 1/2 the price so just using the 055 for comparison if nothing else to what you are looking at might be of help. Those are just some of the major things I've learned from the many tripods I've tried. I'll second those saying fluid heads are the way to go. [/QUOTE]
