Thread: Manfrotto Pixi Mini for spotting scope

Any thoughts or comments

I think it won't have enough height above the ground, and also the spread diameter of the legs wont provide a stable enough base for the long heavy spotter.

Neet little tripod but only really suitable for small light action cams or to mount a cell phone camera too i reckon.

This would be more suitable for purpose. I use one of these for my Canon superzoom camera to film LR shots
