Manfrotto 190CX3

[pdice]

I'm thinking of getting a manfrotto 190 CX3 to replace my older aluminum manfrotto for my spotting scope. The things I like about it are that it is lighter than my old trip, and with the head I have a lot of ways to set it up, including next to me when prone.

Are there any other tripods I should be looking at in this price range which is approx $250?

I have a 190xprob that I'm very happy with. However, it's big and I feel like I could easily be using the small PRS bipod. Id take a look at those. People on here give them a lot of praise.

I'd also check Adorama. I bought my bipod from them. They are a camera / photo equipment company and they had the best prices that I could find. Plus they offer free shipping occasionally and shipped really quick. They were cheaper than the used prices on ebay. But you can occasionally get lucky on ebay.

Just remember, you're competing with photgraphy enthusiasts when you're looking at bipods/heads on ebay.
