Need advice on a tripod

I need advice on which tripod to buy for a 20x-60x spotting scope I plan to use both for hunting and sighting in. An old tripod I have is too loose around the head [something like me?] and doesn't hold the scope base solidly.

Sorry mate,

I am not sure. My mate has a decent one. I'll find out what it is and post back.

It's a Shadow Tech. website is www.hogsaddle.com

He shoots off it too. It's a sturdy unit.

I have two tripods from Vanguard and have been impressed. They make a wide range, so you have options with them. I've only used mine with cameras thus far, but they have been very solid and when I get a good spotting scope I will be using one of them for that.

Ditto for the Manfrotto mines an Art 190 alloy. The new one's look okay.

Thanks to you all. I've seen the Manfrotto doing film work and will look at all the suggestions.
