Centershot: The older and no longer in production Leupold 20, 25 & 30 power fixed spotting scopes are what I prefer for my back pack/long trek Hunts.
Very clear and very light of weight for the money (have to buy them used nowadays but there are lots of them around).
I have a mini-tripod that weighs just a couple ounces but mostly use it from the prone position over my pack.
I have used these spotters when Hunting spring Bear, Antelope, Mt. Goat, Elk and Mule Deer.
Best of luck with whichever you choose.
