You can buy a light and wobbly or a sturdy Manfrotto tripod. People do
not get the best out of their scopes when they use a wobbly tripod. The
scope may as well be hand held. A popular camera store chain offers a
kit with a fairly sturdy tripod and a fluid/video head for about $400.

Hi All,
In attempting to open my tripod too quickly, I recently managed to break
one
of its legs - consequently, am hoping Santa will bring a replacement. A
birder who seemed to know what he was doing recommended a Manfrotto. I
googled this and found a bewildering array of options - many aimed at
camera
users. I only want something light to mount a scope a scope on and
look.
Is Manfrotto the go? Would someone be so kind as to advise and perhaps
recommend.
Carl Weber
