Thanks for all the replies to my tripod RFI. I was set on a carbon fiber tripod but ended up with a Manfrotto aluminum tripod 290Lite. Purchased spur of the moment on way up to Fir Island. Less than $200 and With my scope iabout 5-6 pounds - light for me. Wasn't planning on keeping it but it was light and held up well in strong gusty winds. The panning is annoyingly jerky at times but I can live with that. Otherwise, suits my needs very well!
Cleaning house and wonder if anyone heading to Central or South America would be willing to take a pair of Nikon 8x 35 bins to donate to a birder or rainforest lodge. It's been a long time since I traveled there but I recall the excellent guides sometimes had old gear. These are old but in great shape. just a thought. Email directly if interested.
