Bought one of these today...dunno why...thought it would be good to wrap

Any other uses you can think of?

Surveyor's Transit?

I have three tripods - one really cheapo that I keep in the truck with
my spare camera and video recorder, a heavy one that I use when I need
solid support (which is very rarely - I'm an impulsive amateur
photographer) and one that I used to use for spotting/scoring when I
was really into long range shooting.

Tripods are great, but they can be a hassle.

What tripod for your spotting scope? I don't like the one I have now as
vibrates.

Couldn't tell you. I got it 40 something years ago when I was on the
inter-service rifle team. It's a bench model about 28" tall when in
tripod mode and built like a tank - like most stuff you get in the
service, totally overbuilt. :)

Some of the local target guys use the Aududon Dimension scopes and
tripods - the tripods seem really sturdy.

Why would you need it? You stated here before that you take your lens
all the way out to 200mm and take perfect no movement photos hand
held. Of course, I told you then you were a liar.
