Sturdy but reasonably priced scope tripod

[StuMack]

Hi all,

Well my celestron ultima 80 arrived today and i quite wait to try it out on the weekend.

However, i can already see that my cheapo tripod is gonna be blown around in wind and cause me no end of grief

Can anyone recommend a decent tripod with a good head that isnt going to cost me the earth??

Thanks all, Stuart

If you have a London Camera Exchange near you, check out their own brand 'Arena' tripods. For around one hundred quid, you'll be hard pressed to find a much sturdier 'pod and, if I'm correct, they come with a head that's ideal for birdwatching and maybe even astronomy? Good luck and keep us informed - Wizzo
