This tripod with the pistol grip feature works great for my spotting scope! I live on a lake on a golf course and use my scope to watch birds and birdies. I can follow a heron as he stalks a minnow on the other side of the lake or watch a duffer 4 putt a par 3. The pistol grip makes it easy.

Awesome SOLID tripod. I have no worries placing $5000+ worth of camera equipment on it. I purchased for event photography, weddings, portraits, and sports photography. I have a full size DSLR and it can handle my heavy lenses, camera, and external flash with no problem. The tripod is a bit heavy but I have no plans to hike with it. I wanted to have something that would be solid and hold my equipment safely. Tripod can be used in numerous different positions very quickly due to the pistol grip design and it can be tightened at all different angles to limit movement. I love how the head turns very smoothly as this will help when using the video function on my camera for smooth video transitions. I love the tripod and head together. They are a perfect match for each other. You will not regret purchasing this tripod/head combination! Great product for the price!

I bought this tripod for the purpose of filming a few of my buddies' weddings and it worked out great. It's very easy to use, the set-up and take-down are quick and painless. It is very stable for the price and I would recommend this for anyone looking for a great tripod at a lower price.
