[QUOTE="FTRshooter, post: 1843839, member: 112707"] Tripods are very finicky. You have to match the weight capabilities with the weight of your optics. That also includes the head. What is the weight if your 65mm spotter? Once you have that, look for a tripod rated at that weight plus 3 or 4 pounds. Carbon fiber legs will carry more fir the same weight but they cost much more. I have a Manfrotto CF with a magnesium/stainless steel head. It supports my Kowa very securely and weighs just a few pounds. But it's expensive. I have not bought another tripod since as this one did the trick. Finally. [/QUOTE]
