I’m 6’ tall and have been looking around for a tripod that’s tall enough for me to glass with standing up with my binos. The Slik 634 looks like a good option to me because it’s the same weight as my current tripod, just a little longer when folded up, and has the twist locks, which I like. My current tripod has a max height of 57” and with the pan head on it I can glass standing with my spotter, but the binos is a no go.
I have also seen the Slik 734 and 834 (I think those are the right model numbers) are taller, but they’re substantially heavier than the 634 so I don’t really want to go that route.
So are there any Slik 634 users out there who are 6’+ who have any feedback on whether they can glass standing with their binos? If so, what pan/ball head and what binocular mount (outdoorsmans, field optics research) are you using?
Anyone have any other tripods to recommend for standing and glassing?
Thanks in advance for any input!
