Hi all
Hopefully, all being well, a used Swarovski ATS 80 HD is winging its way to me as we speak. :t:B
Its taken a while to get the Scope, obviously as you can imagine the cost doesn't help in this regard and I'm aware I've asked a similar question on the forum quite a while back when I was originally considering the ATS 80HD/which set up I should chose. However finally the wheels are in motion.
My Dad is kindly allowing me to use his Manfrotto 190cxpro4 with 128 rc2 head until I'm sure what im doing in relation to a tripod and head. He uses this setup with his ATS 65 so is more than happy but two questions;
1. Will this manfrotto combo be more than ok for the ATS 80 HD or do I need to be cautious in terms of stability? The weight capacity of legs and head seem to be fine but just wonderd in practice whether there would be in any problems with the 80 HD and,
2. If this loan was to develop into a permanent arrangement would it be able to take the weight of added digiscoping kit further down the line such as the DCB adaptor and a P6000 camera or would a 055X set of legs be the way forward?
Regards
