I am hunting mules in Wyoming next fall and am putting together my gear list. I am on a budget and need a lot of stuff so I am saving where ever I can.
I am a bowhunter fromt he east and have never owned a decent pair of binoculars. I am pretty set on getting the Maven C.1's in 10x42, as I have heard they blow just about anything in that price range out of the water.
I have a cheap no name tripod that came with a camcorder years ago. It is only 2 pounds and can be adjusted tall enough to stand up and glass with, and compacts down to about 18".
What are the downfalls of a cheap tripod and what are the benefits of guys changing out heads on quality tripods?
I am guessing any tripod is better then no tripod at all, but again its all new to me and I am looking to learn anything I can to be best prepared.
Thanks
Gary
