    Lightweight & budget tripod for Opticron MM4 60mm scope

    Hi everyone, a little head up : Thanks to a prolific 2nd-hand market here, I was able to get my hand on a Benro carbon travel tripod (model TSL08CN00). Very light set up (about 1,2kg), stability was ok for my need, but sometimes the tripod would lift up a bit if I was tilting the scope. But...
