Great Compact Tripod for Birding!
I bought this Vortex tripod for birding to go with my Celestron scope after the pan head mount fell apart on the Celestron model. I'm am avid birder and use my scope frequently. Since I also carry a camera and binoculars, weight is important. The 3 pound weight is great for trail transport. So far, it seems very stable and it's easy to set up. The one thing I wish was different is the quick mount. It's a slide in, which is fine but has no stop. The height is good and the compact size is perfect for my needs. The lifetime warranty is much appreciated plus that I hope I won't need to take advantage of.

Use the weight hook, really keeps this tripod so steady even when I’m not so steady.
This is sturdy, well built, and easy to use. The hook in the middle hanging down is so nice, I didn’t realize till put weight on it how nice.

Great product and well built
I compared this tripod to two others - one was a Nikon and the other was an off-brand. The Nikon is more compact and a little lighter, but it didn't extend tall enough to stand and look through my spotting scope. Also the Nikon was more wobbly. The Vortex is made of quality material and is very stable. It does take up more room in my pack while hiking, but it's worth it. Highly recommend.

Sturdy, well built stand!
High quality materials and easy to use. The only thing I dislike is how the sight glass mounts. Seems they were just shy of enough room to tighten it down. Otherwise, great product. Everything moves smoothly and sits without movement.

Very stable and great price
I purchased this to pack while hunting. It is a little heavier than I want, compared to carbon fiber but at a 1/6 of the price well worth it. It was very stable and easy to set up.

Solid tri-pod
Very solid. Easy to set up. It's not the lightest (but wouldn't call it heavy either) but that wasn't what i was looking for. Collapses down very nicely and could be fit into a pack fairly easily.

Needed a really rugged Tripod that Packs easily and offers strength way beyond its weight.
I've been looking at Vortex for a while now and I'm happy with that they sent me. It's just a very rugged Tripod that not only looks great I think it could potentially survive a year with an active seal team, ranger team it's built to take a ton of ***t. Ordered this Tripod to film and spot Wolves behind and on my property and have owned many Tripods this happens to be one I feel I'll never be able to destroy this one within reason will last most backpackers a lifetime, it's very rugged and I paid less than 150 Dollars on Amazon.Big thumbs up to Vortex and Amazon who found this for me.
