Not what i expected - Vortex Mountain Pass Tripod Kit

I have several Vortex products including a few scopes, red dot, magnifier, and now this tripod that I thought would be an upgrade from the cheapy I bought for my Canon DSLR many years ago. It's not. While the head is light years better than the plastic/metal mount on the old Hakuba, The entire tripod is pretty short and I'm tall. For that reason I have to run the center mount all the way to the top which is the worst possible thing when mounting a heavy weight scope like the 85MM Viper. A slight bump can set up a wobble/oscillation that keeps going and going.....

For shorter folks, especially using an angled and/or lighter scope, this will work better.
