desertmafia21 Report post Posted September 18, 2015 What's your price range? What power bino's are you using? For $105 you can get a Slik pro 330ez on amazon which is a great setup for the price. If money is not an option then an outdoorsman is a great tripod 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MogollonMan Report post Posted September 18, 2015 I love my Vanguard Alta+ 264AO. I keep hearing people talk about the Outdoorsmans tripod and I don't get it for the life of me. No doubt they are great tripods, but when I have gone to Outdoorsmans and looked at them, I don't see anywhere near enough upside over my Vanguard to justify over 4 times the cost. I am totally open to them, just need someone to help convince me what makes them so great over others that are SUBSTANTIALLY cheaper. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZ_SAWBUCK Report post Posted September 18, 2015 If you like the ball head style check out the Vortex Ridge View. If you are looking for one a little lighter I'd go with a Slik. Remember the lighter you go the less stable they tend to be in the wind. One feature I always consider is how wide the legs will spread apart! JS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DesertBull Report post Posted September 18, 2015 More than happy with my manfrotto 190x and pro-2w fluid head. With a few slight mods I was able to reduce the weight by 1/2 lb. trim.97534CC0-9399-4A35-B3B3-CF4188AD0179.MOV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carpcody Report post Posted September 21, 2015 I have used vortex before and they are not bad, I still have one for a back up. But now I really like my manfrotto 290 carbon with the the 391rc2 head. It's makes long glassing sessions enjoyable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oz31p Report post Posted September 21, 2015 I have the outdoorsmans med compact with their micro pan head. It's rock solid. It's total weight is 2lbs11oz. It's bomb proof and if any thing ever did break every single piece is easily replaceable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZbowhntr Report post Posted September 21, 2015 Amanda sells the carbon Promaster here on the site. I have been using it for a couple years now and am very happy with it. I took my Jim White head off my old tripod and now have a great setup. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
