Hello everyone! I'm foraying into the world of using scopes with an incoming 86mm, heavy scope. Reading a bit has made it plenty clear that I need a solid tripod head. I currently own the Promaster XC525c tripod and default head which I quite like, it's been stable for me albeit on a much lighter camera.
I'm looking for recommendations on a head, not too expensive, so I can spend around $100 used.
I like to switch between different modes of activities on the same tripod, to allow bird photography on my Sony 200-600, watching marsh birds at a distance with the scope, using my smaller p950, or a shorter lens to do astrophotography. I do intend to hike and keep the weight down. I've also never used any other head than a ball head.
Any recommendations for a one-size-fits -all would be greatly appreciated, bonus points if that size is small
Thank you and happy birding!
