I'm almost set on getting Kowa tsn501 + 20-40x zoom as my first scope but I have no clue how good (and pricy) tripod and head I will need for this lightweight scope.
I've spent last two days reading about tripods and heads since I have zero experience of scopes. I've learned a lot from this forum too, but not enough to make the decision.
Sirui r-2204 is one of the options I've been looking at but I see it weighs only 1,3 kg and don't know if it's enough.
I've also looked at Benro mach3 tma28c which was mentioned as good option on this forum but it had some bad amazon reviews.
Can these two tripods be combined with Manfrotto 500AH videohead?
I could get Sirui R-3213X + VH-10X if I streched my budget a bit but is this combo more than I need for Kowa tsn 501?
Any help would be much appreciated. My budget is around 500 € and it's not easy for me to get to a shop where I could test scopes, tripods, and heads.
