Hi, Sandy.
Years ago I was looking for a light scope/tripod combination for easier travel. The rig I obtained consisted of a carbon fiber Swarovski tripod and the 65mm Vortex Razor scope. Together they weighed less than 8 pounds, which I found satisfactory.

Hi all,
I need to get a new travel tripod/fluid head combo. I’m looking for something prioritizing weight and packability (should fit into carry-on without requiring complete disassembly). Sandbag hook is nice but not required. This is to mount a lightweight 65mm scope. Prefer a three-axis head but can make do with two. Off-list responses welcome,
Thanks,
