AKopitov,
An option that might help you or others is a backpack that attaches to a tripod, allowing it and the scope to be carried assembled. My wife bought me one years ago and it really helped me.
I often left the legs extended, sometimes gathered (not spread). That let me get the pack off more easily.
A quick "tripod backpack" google search just now gave several results. Some are little backpacks/knapsacks, others even more basic, like the 9 ounce Tripack Tripod Pack that I see on the
bigpockets.com website.
Happy Trails!

Qui tacet consentire videtur
Hello birders,
I am in the market for a new lighter weight scope tripod that is stable for my 2lb Kowa TSN 820 scope. Tried Sirui 1204 but the VA5 head It comes with is too flimsy and unsteady even with added weight. The head alone is just shakes. Previous scope was a rock solid manfrotto aluminum 'Mac truck' but quite heavy. Tried Glazers ... No luck.
Hoping to find some under 5-6 lbs with scope and video head ideally.Any suggestions appreciated.
Looking for recommendations. Please email directly if you can.
Thanks in advance!
