Hi,
having been diagnosed with a frozen shoulder that may take a year or more to heal, I am looking to lighten my birding set up as much as possible.
I am thinking of trying a Benro Slim carbon fibre tripod (1kg) and S2 video head (400g) for my Vortex Razor 65 (old version) (approx. 1.2-1.3 kg with e/p).
I may consider changing to an Opticron MM4 60 if I still find the load too heavy but I would rather stick with the Razor as, used with Swaro e/ps, it's a brilliant little scope.
Has anyone got any experience or views on this tripod and head? Or suitable alternatives in the same weight and price range?
Thanks
