[QUOTE="Villreinjeger, post: 528746, member: 34014"] Thanks for splendid advice! Now that the Slik 613 cf is out of production - what are my choices in that class? A combination of Outdoorsmans + JW is out of the question a good set, however I plan to use th on the West coast of Norway, and in New Zealand (trying to make a trip every second or third year down there for thar and chamois..) which means I'll make a 1000m hike UP every day, preferably with all the gear. We often see animals on otpposite faces miles away worth checking out for another day - it is so steep, that to reveal the animals I often need to get up a fair bit.. My spotter is angled - and is what i find best when looking uphill. I also like to be able to sit backwards towards a rock or log, and place the tripod in front of me, legs spread outside mine, and get a correct height that way. Have googled quite a few tripods tonight - a Slik Sprint Mini II might tick the box? 26lb only, with a ball head - I could rip the ball head off and replace it with a JW head and STILL have a low weight solution with good ergonomics?
