Can anybody recommend a budget tripod kit of £100 or less? It will be used with a Hawke nature 20-60x80 spotting scope. I look forward to your replys.:t::king:

I recently bought a Velbon sherpa 600 from the internet it was about £60 and for a spotting scope it's pretty good and a good weight to carry. Not sure why it is necessary to spend more unless you plan to do lots of photography with it too.

I bought it from Cameraking on Amazon marketplace and it arrived very quickly.
