what tripod (for use while standing) do you recommend for use with this scope?

Don't really know anything about tripods for standing but I have a Silk Mini Pro V that I use as a tabletop tripod.

I use a Vanguard -Espod 203AP. You can use it sitting or standing. I just used it both ways on my archery antelope hunt.

I would select a tripod that has a height range capability close to your height to facilitae viewing without having to change your stance and minimize your posture changes. Also, choose a quality tripod that is sturdy to mimimize shaking in mild to gusty winds. I use an old style camcorder tripod which is on the heavy side and still shakes a little in wind. Good luck.

Any tripod stand would work so long as it fits the speedlight. I don't use it much anymore because it doesn't swivel. I gave it a great review for the time, but I've outgrown it. That "metal" is juts like foil to help reflect light from the speedlight.

Great idea. Wish I didn't need a tripod, though. I guess I'll have to decide whether I really want to do a lot of macro work. Thanks!

if you're not planning on standing up and shooting I would go with the 18 by 38 tripod that's what I have you can use it from a setting to kneeling position I love it

Sir. I have no idea about various heads that you can use with this tripod. It depends on what you are going to put on the head. Is it a camera lens? spotting scope? I use a very old Swiss-Arca Mono-Ball. I put a 300mm f/2.8 lens and camera on it as well as various other camera/lens combinations.

For the money go with an EoTech. I returned my MEPROLIGHT because the mounting didn't feel solid, even after adjustment. Maybe I got a bad one who knows. I already spent the money to swapped it out for a Aimpoint T1 micro and haven't looked back since. But to answer your question, I felt it sat to high on the rail.

this tripod works well with small dove tails, the 5 spotting scope fits very well and looks great sitting in any room.there is a drive for this tripod I don't have it.the cgem HD8 is a great scope and drive for the price. ive seen many and the optics are great for the money.i only know the cgem drives.

You really need a heavy tripod to be satisfied with this scope. It's a big scope with considerable magnification and the image will jiggle to an annoying degree without a heavy tripod. I have been involved in photography for decades and I have a range of tripods that varies from compact to huge. I used this scope with a medium weight tripod the first time and the image bounced all over the place. The next time, I used the scope on a heavy tripod and the image viewed was very stable. I have much bigger tripods, but the minimum weight tripod that worked for me weighted about nine pounds and has very solid construction.

Any tripod that is suitable for a camera with the screw mount in the center.

I haven't had that problem but the supplied tripod is really cheap and flimsy. Just get yourself a more stable, inexpensive tripod. It will make your scope much more functional.

I used a camera tripod to mount/support the scope. I am not aware of a way to use it as a telephoto lens.

I use my wifes Slik U-212 Deluxe It was my wifes she used it for a Nikon camera. It has a multitude of adjustments and is fairly sturdy but a bit shaky to. I would suggest shopping around and bringing the scope with you to try because this scope is fairly heavy. I guess depending on what your using the scope for mine is more than adequate but at the same time I think something stronger would be better. I have to say this tripod is pretty old so I doubt its even available any longer. I still recommend the scope though. Good luck in your search and If your spending that much for a scope spend accordingly for a tripod. I use my wifes Slik U-212 Deluxe It was my wifes she used it for a Nikon camera.

This is the tripod that I use with this scope and it's very sturdy: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002IKQP4/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's a little heavy and the legs aren't quick release, but is definitely stable enough to take advantage of the wonderful optics of the scope. I use this all the time while birding in grassland areas and at the shore. Not great for hiking with as it is heavy.

I purchased a SLIK tripod from Amazon to go with my scope. Mine has a ball head, but you can get them with a pan style head as well. Other option is a bench rest type that clamps on a bench rest and has a solid rod that the scope can slide up or down. They are somewhat expensive though. Here's a link to the tripod I got.Slik Mini-Pro III Tabletop Travel Tripod

The windage and elevation adjustments worked well my problem was I was using a scope that frankly was too heavy for the tripod. I wanted a tripod to use with a large scope on a shooting bench. Te product wasn't suited for the weight. My mistake.

It should work. The only concern I would have is the weight. The tripod is sturdy but I wouldn't want anything over 5 pounds on it. I use my tripod with a spotting scope. There is still a little vibration when the center column is extended. If you were planning on using it for video I would go for something a little more heavy duty.
