Our favorite heavy duty tripod, it's quick to set up and adjust, the Benro T980 Photo and Video Hybrid Tripod with Fluid Head is an ultralightweight tripod you can easily carry with you.  It features a quick-release plate for rapidly mounting and unmounting your Spotting Scope from the tripod, which frees you to carry your equipment easily when trying to reach otherwise inaccessible places, then quickly set up and enjoy the view.
