Funny how something as simple as a
tripod can cause so much confusion and generate so many
questions, but tripods do just that. So, if you are thinking of adding a tripod to a binocular or spotting scope, here is some help. Astronomy binoculars are a special case, so I wrote an article for this in
How to Choose Astronomy Binocular Tripods. For spotting scopes and digital point and shoot cameras and the typical DSLR camera, I wrote
Tripod Guide - Choosing the best Tripod Okay, that should answer most of the basic questions on tripods for
binoculars,
spotting scopes and most
digital cameras. Hope it helps.
