that's a very tempting price I am not always happy buying things like optics on line but something like a tripod I would be happy with,know where to look when our older one gives up the ghost.

Birding is for everyone no matter how good or bad we are at it,enjoy it while you can
For a good tripod when yours packs up BUY A USED MANNFROTTO !

THAT is the BEST Tripod head on the planet in it's price range IMWIGOBO ( well informed grouchy old birder opinion)- I have 3 of them.
or buy an all in one deal with more modern head - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Manfrotto-055XPROB-Tripod-with-700RC2-Head-/281578932338?pt=UK_Tripods_Monopods&hash=item418f698872

Not me- I am after an RC 128 Head as the one on Mrs Seymour's tripehound has seized up after 15 years.
Received my Velbon Tripod yesterday,very pleased excellent price and good quality.
Now I have just got to decide on Scope.
Thanks for the advice,bought the Tripod.is the hide clamp you mention any particular model?
The clamp I use is an Opticron BC2 part no. 42611 £20,it comes with a selection of sleeves to suit different diameter centre columns.
Hi I have looked online but cannot seem to find a Opticron Bc2 for £20?
They do it HERE, Kevin, but it's £29
