Hi birdforum folks,
I have an angled Nikon ED50 arriving on Monday, and the 27xWA eyepiece arriving Wed. I can't wait!
While deciding on the scope/eyepiece was difficult, it wasn't nearly as confusing as the world of tripods!
I'd like one as light as possible, that I can take hiking with my light little scope. The CF Gitzo is too expensive, but the Basalt is in my range (up to $300 for the legs).
Does anyone have experience with this little guy
Benro C-069M8 Travel Angel Carbon Fiber Tripod Legs

I would have to extend the center col approx. 3 inches -- I need a min. of 48 inches high.
What other suggestions do you have?
Would a "0" series Basalt Gitzo be the better way to go? Or a less-expensive CF?
Would you recommend an anti-rotation plate with this set-up?
Any head recommendations?
I wish I could shop in person, but even the best stores have very few options.
Thanks for your opinions!
Jessica
