    i considered a geared style for my glassing 400+ thru thickets . precise adjustments but i never tried one and wish i could before buying, thats what made me go with what i know works good for panning and staying on moving dead animals.

    dual tripod rail

    I just had this mount on left laying around ,but it's 3/8 . I m open to suggestions/options. These clamps aren't an American product, the qr plates are small but fit in snug. Something similar to this or a ball head if i can't make 1 these qr plates 3/8ths bolt
