This is an awesome backpacking tripod for sit-down glassing and can support up to 80 mm spotting scopes if the wind isn’t too bad. I’d recommend an angled spotting scope with this tripod so you can keep it lower and ideally keep the column all the way down. I’ve put a lot of miles on these ProMaster Tripods. They’re one of the most compact options out there because of the way the legs invert over the column which is a nice feature especially if you fly with them or want to carry them in a smaller day-pack.
They’re a great value. If you want a keeper, let us know and I’ll be happy to send a new or used kit in the original box. New kits retail at $269.00 and our used ones are typically about $250 because we usually sell them before they get rented more than 2 or 3 times. Our used tripods are typically in “like new” condition.
The kits (promaster tripod and ball-head) aren’t for sale individually, but if you wanted to pair the tripod with another pan-head like the Sirui VA-5 that is another great combo that I would be glad to sell and make you a deal on the combo. If you didn’t want the ball head I’d give you $20 credit toward your purchase.
