Just picked up a Konus 100 spotter from ebay. Open box was about $100 less than retail. Now I need to find a tripod that'll support it. I think it's listed at over 5 pounds.

Don't want to spend too much, want a budget model. But would rather buy once and cry once. Saw some good reviews for Zomei and Slik.

Anyone else have a big heavy spotter on a tripod?

Thanks in advance,
Dana
