Just bought a spotting scope. A friend recommended this tripod. It works very well.
Pros: Very solid, easy to use
Cons: A little heavy, but wouldn't provide as good a base for my spotting scope if it were too light.
Would recommend: Yes

Got the tripod and it works great, I bundled it with the listed tripod bag and the bag is too small. Tried to exchange it and was told I couldn't even though a customer service associate assured me it would fit.
Pros: Easy to use and very solid
Cons: Listed tripod bag is too small
Would recommend: Yes

I purchased the Monfrotto Bogen 055XDB, 128Rc Tripod and head kit for use a birding scope. The tripod provides a rock solid foundation for viewing on windy days. The height is perfect, allowing ideal positioning without extending the center support. It is a bit heavier than I am used to, but the stability more than makes up for that.
Pros: Stable with smooth action
Cons: A bit heavy
Would recommend: Yes

I use this tripod for photography. I am a photographer and have taken this tripod with me everywhere! I have thrown this bogen tripod into the sand & given it away into baggage, still working! This is one of the best tripods I have ever used. I have had it for well over 3 years. I Have used it for studio product photography as well as taken it with me on adventures around the world! Though it is not a carbon fiber tripod, it's amazing for the price and quality! Wouldn't trust any other brand!
Pros: Durability
Cons: heavy
Would recommend: Yes

Very pleased, high quality! Great service! One problem, locking pin on Bogen plate is too big for my Leupold HD spotter.Bogen and Leupold plates are interchangeable except for the removable pin on bogen. I prefer Leupolds plate with the metal pin because it locks up tight. I ground 2 slots on bottom of the Leupold plate to match the Bogen plate design and problem solved!
Pros: Solid and very smooth
Cons: Leg turn locks a little slower than tab locks.
Would recommend: Yes
