I'm trying to decide on a new tripod for this fall for backpack hunting. Looking for one to use with a big spotting scope and something I can use as a rifle rest. Would like to keep it under $400 any recommendations?
I am one of those weird ones that prefers flip lock legs vs twist. My favorite flip lock tripod was discontinued, so that led me to the Sirui ET-1204. I use it with an 85mm spotter, and haul it in a pack quite often, works great. Call Camerland and mention you're a hunting forum member and you may get ~10% off.

I use an Outdoorsmans micro pan head with it...
