Request advice re: tripod for Nikon Fieldscope ed60 II (1 Viewer)

[Earnest lad]

Sorry to ask, but I am a complete novice as regards tripods and scopes.
Please can anyone advise whether the photo of the attached tripod with the head showing would be suitable for my scope
Can this scope have a ball head or a gimbal head fitted as far as is ascertainable from the photo?
I saw it advertised online locally.

Doesn't look good to me. Not sure if you can remove that head, or whether those legs would be worth bothering with. Thumbs down.

Hi,

I tend to agree with Alexis - you can't see much on the image except that the quick release plate is missing... so that head better comes off... and I'm not very sure about that... nor about the stability of the legs...
