Red Snapper tripods

[Tringa]

This is not a photography question but I've seen a number of good comments about Red Snapper tripods on here so thought I'd ask.

I have found that the very old tripod I'm using for my new scope is not good enough - too much vibration at even medium magnifications, so I need a new one.

As said quite a few folks here like Red Snapper tripods but I understand that the comments are how good these tripods are for photography and not for use with a scope.

While I feel a tripod that will support a DSLR and a big lens should support a scope (it weighs under 2kg) too, the two uses are a bit different. One to be stable for the relativlely short duration of the exposure for a photo, the other much longer use at high magnification.

Does anyone use a Red Snapper tripod with a scope?

Alternatively any other suggestions would be welcomed.

Thanks

Dave

Tripods are the same for cameras or scopes. It's the heads that are different. Not sure RS does a scoping head, but you don't want a ball head.

One of those 2-way panning jobbies with a long handle. I think they are also intended for video use.
