I just ordered my first scope, super excited. It's a Nikon Monarch 60ED(a?). I ordered a sirui va-5 head, but for the tripod i quickly became overwhelmed with the options and stalled. My dad was a photographer in the 70s-90s, and I told him about my plight. He offered to send me a tripod that he thinks was very good back in the day. I wonder if you all can comment on whether it would be worth a try or wave it off and go for a new (used) something for ~$200usd.
These are images he sent of what he could send me... worth a try? or waste of money to ship it?
