So this year I am thinking of taking the plunge into getting a tripod. Uses will be primarily glassing with my 15x56 Swarovski binos, or secondarily with a spotting scope (also on the shopping list). Primarily alpine deer hunting or long distance cut block glassing. If possible it would be interesting to be able to carry a clamp mount for my rifle to shoot off as well, as depending on terrain a prone shot with a bipod is not always an option. Looking for ideas about brand/model, height (I think I would prefer something I can use sitting or standing) and head type. For now I’m willing to consider pretty much anything under $1,000 but would obviously prefer to keep it more reasonable to increase my budget for a spotting scope.
thx!
