I have a Slik 88 Black Diamond tripod which is years old and hardly been used. It has a 3 way pan and tilt head which is not very good. When you tighten things up the scope seems to move off position. Would changing the head to possibly a Velbon PH157Q head make any difference and would it fit directly on to the Slik tripod? I'm asking the question now because I have just acquired an Opticron GS 665 GA scope with 27× HR eyepiece and am trying to match it to a useful tripod as cheaply as possible. Once I have the tripod sorted it'll be just a matter of getting a stay-on case. If I can do all this without falling foul of my wife it will be some achievement!3
