Bogen 3180N Tripod - Jun 19, 2007

When folks purchase a spotting scope or telescope they often try to save a bit of money on the required tripod. This is certainly a mistake. Too may folks think that their regular photo tripod is adequate, but this is rarely the case. The amount of vibration and shake often reduces a fine telescope's usefulness to near uselessness by not being able to hold a steady picture on such distant objects. Also, the weight distribution is so different with a long, heavy astronomical telescope as opposed to a camera that a real concern of the tripod falling over is obvious. A couple of favorites for medium sized optics are the Bogen 3180N and the Bushnell 784040. Both are exceptionally sturdy and using them is a joy. They are great investments that will last lifetimes. You can also certainly use them with your photo equipment.
