Good advice Simon. I keep telling photographers and birders about getting a sturdy tripod. Like you, I see many people with very expensive cameras & scopes perched on a very cheap looking tripod-yikes! And then, they don't seem to be able to set it up properly either. I am wincing, expecting their gear to topple over any second!

Hello, Simon ! Hello! A very helpful channel. I am from Kiev. Could you enable subtitles in Ukrainian or Russian? I want to find a good tripod for Zeiss Diascope FL 85.

What tripod model is being used with the Manfrotto?

The Systematic is good, but for birding, it's the wrong legs for a scope, you need to be able to adjust the height, you really can't do it easily without a centre column.

Also, I have found that using a video head with a long arm that sticks out can be a pain and stops you getting your eye to the scope. You can adjust the arm of course, but who wants to do that every time you move around/set up the next viewing?

After just telling us how important stability is ("a telescope is as good as its stability"), Simon then contradicts himself by advocating the use off a clamp on a flimsy bit of plywood. Every time someone opens the door of the hide, walks along the walkway or a gust of wind catches the hide, the view will be all over the place.

Yes he should’ve pointed out you need to bring your own portable hide setup , towed by your 4x4 , made by carbon fibre for ultimate stiffness not to mention being lightweight.

@indiaoverland2846 Hallo, I wound up getting the Vanguard Alta Pro2 263CV tripod. It's nice. I also got the Celestron Regal m2 100ed scope. I'm happy with both. The tripod has a nice long handle and adjustable smooth friction damping, which is a must-have for me. I needed an adapter to properly mount the scope, so Vanguard shipped it to me . Amazon sometimes sells the scope very cheap compared to a shop. Amazon is where I purchased my scope, and I think the tripod, too. I'd wished i got the Vanguard model tripod that is made so the legs are easily taken apart for cleaning, though. In case I get grit/dirt/sand in trapped in. At the time, that one was too expensive for me. Both Vanguard & Celestron has a phone number, and they will speak about stuff with us in a warm, friendly manner. All the best, prost 👍
