tripod suggestions for scope?

[Paul Jacobson <>]

Thanks to everyone who replied to me with advice.
It seems that tripod choice is a matter of personal preference as  
there was little agreement on basic features, but the opinions were  
enlightening.
I've picked up a used but "as new" Slik 88 black diamond tripod for  
about $50 posted. From comments I found on birdforum.net, it should  
have slightly better stability than an a Manfrotto 190, but is  
outclassed by a Manfrotto 055. So hopefully it should allow me to get  
so hands on experience with a reasonable tripod, and let me get a  
better idea of what suits me.
thanks again
Paul
