Very sturdy on the table top - Vortex High Country Tripod with Ball Head HCOUNTRY

I bought this to give me a stable platform for my Barska 20-60x spotting scope. It does the job well, doesn't shake or wobble like the lighter weight ones. I do not plan to extend the legs since our gun club has concrete benches. The ball head allows me to rotate the scope so I can remain seated using it. It locks into position rather well and stays where I aim it. I have not tried it in the field because I am a target shooter.
