    Spotting Scope Stand - Any Recommendations?

    Hi all,
    After spotting scope stand mainly for target shooting.
    I have tried some good 'Camera' type tripods, but they always have some issues when you fix a decent sized spotting scope on them.
    Issues being crappy friction locks, no locks on ball heads etc, so they come loose way to easily.

    I see NZ has the Collings offering, anyone used this?

    Dont mind importing something from USA, UK or Aus... just seems hard to find anything.
    Cheers.

    Picture below is what the Dutch Marines used at a comp i went to last year, but that tripod is $2k.
