[QUOTE="kiwikid, post: 1445740, member: 56094"] I'm just glad that I could be of some help. My search began after a Chamois hunt in the Southern Alps here in NZ. I wanted the Swarovski ATX spotting scope and then went looking for a tripod. I looked at Gitzo (NZ$1900) and Manfrotto both of which were very nice but didn't tick all the boxes. They were either not tall enough (I'm 6') or too heavy, the Gitzo was so heavy if I took it I would have to leave my lunch behind :(. Finally at a gun show I got to play with the Swarovski and it has been fantastic plus it was about half the price of the Gitzo :). [/QUOTE]
