Compact Spotting Scope Tri Pod Recommendations

[Madman]

I have the Leupold 12-40x60mm Gold Ring scope but don't care much for the Leupold tripod. I prefer a bid pod with a handle similar to what you would see in a vehicle/window mount spotting scope attachment. Still needs to be packable. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks! Merry Christmas!

I have been using a Vortex Summit SS with the ball head. You can get either a ball head or pan and tilt. It's lightweight and seems to work pretty well. I like the ball head.

I have the same spotter and I've used a Slik Mini for years.

Leupold is coming out with a lightweight carbon model in 2017. I just got mine. Slightly taller than the Slik with the same ball head.

Thanks for the info, I was looking at the Vortex a bit online yesterday, and had never seen the Slik before, so I'll do some comparing. I appreciate both of your input!
