[QUOTE="eoperator, post: 2829661, member: 120683"] I went through 1/2 doz tripods about a year and a half ago settling on a slik 703 (similar to slik 733) with a good panning ball head. The 3 section tripods are tall in the pack but faster to setup and a bit stiffer/lighter than 4 or 5 section. Tripods without the center extendable section are much stiffer for heavy optics and shooting but I like to have it for quick adjustments and high enough to glass with binos standing. Bigger heavier tripods will do better with an 85mm standing in the wind but are heavy. A good arca ball head with the outdoorsmans bino adaptor will be functional with binos, spotter and rifle, fluid heads are nice for glassing but limit shooting usefulness. There are tradeoffs for everything dealing with tripods you will have to prioritize the functions you want and pick accordingly. [/QUOTE]
