    Tripod for spotter

    Hey guys what's everyone's thoughts on what tripod to use for a spotter, not willing on spending huge money but I know you need to spend a wee bit so its stable.
    Cheers for the input

    If you get the right one, they are good.
    Pics of the ones i had/have...
    The big tri-pod is good with the big scope, but becareful on little tripods if they have friction locks, sometimes the big scope is a bit to much for them and they come loose easy.
    Got this from Photo warehouse i think in K-road.
