Spotting Scope Tripod Suggestions?

[big bear]

My 15 year old tripod broke yesterday (one of the leg clamps broke). For now I'll duct tape it but need to replace soon. Any suggestions? I use it for my Swarovski ATS-65 scope. Mostly use at range, set up so I can use it seated at the bench. I also pack it for hunting when I won't be hiking more than a couple of kilometers. For "back pack" hunting I have a smaller , lighter scope/tri[pod combo.

Thanks for any suggestyions. Ideally I'd like to keep cost $300 or less.

I bought a sunwayfoto this past spring. For a Chinese made tripod the build quality is excellent.

Check out Innorel on Amazon. Have had one for a couple years and it has been great. Available in a variety of weights and configurations. If you want a heavier weight unit for the range, should come in just around your budget with a ball head.
