[QUOTE="Len Backus, post: 522438, member: 1"] There is an easy way to compare the stability of the pistol grip vs the Jim White head. I learned it from my experience of evaluating tripod heads for use with a long and heavy $9,000 Nikon telephoto lens for my $5,000 camera. While the spotting scope is mounted and you are viewing a distant object, tap your index finger lightly against the forward portion of the scope. This will introduce a certain amount of image jiggle. Compare the amount induced with each of the mounting systems. The Jim White is an obvious winner in my actual test. [/QUOTE]
