While a photography tripod will work with a spotting scope, the MeoPod TP-1 is one specially designed for sport shooters. It features a two-way fluid head, guided by a long handle, which delivers vibration-free panning and tilt action. This can be a big plus when digiscoping or iScoping in movie mode.
The MeoPod TP-1 also offers a lockable handle that provides for quick and stable “image capturing” after the target is acquired; while target shooters may find this feature handy as well. When using an angled spotting scope and Meopta MeoPix iPhone Adapter, the shooter can see and photograph bullet holes in targets at long distances without having to leave the shooting position.
This durable tripod weighs just under six pounds and folds to 26 inches for easy carrying in the field or to the range. The MeoPod even provides quickrelease levers to speed deployment of the padded, anodized legs, and its unique leg pivots adjust to four different angles for more versatile observation and photography. The maximum total height with center riser extended is 70 inches, and there is a center hook on which to hang extra weight, such as a backpack, for additional stability.
With this scope you can take your best shot.
