The heaviest pair of binoculars I have are Maven B2s, no spotter yet or in the near future.
I am trying to sort though tripods for glassing here in Colorado, and am getting the paralysis by analysis overwhelmed feeling. I am not hip to different terminology of what head does what, or why one would want a certain feature on the tripod, etc.
I am hoping to spend less than $200, and maybe stay around 4lbs, but am not sure if that is even possible. I need to get one for the wife as well. I think it would be nice to be able to stand (I am 6') as well as sit.
Can someone throw some suggestions my way on what models might fit the bill? Maybe even an explanation of why your suggestion fits, and then I can apply those concepts in expanding that search. Thanks in advance.
For example, something like this Manfrotto MT290DUA3US 290 Dual Aluminum Tripod with 494 Mini B&H seems feasible, but I don't know if I am missing a glaring issue that is not apparent to me since this would be my first tripod setup.
