Never had a really good tripod before, particularly with a nice easy to pan head. Looking to upgrade and to buy once.
Uses will be for spotting scope and binocular work.
Input appreciated.

Happy to help out. The best bet for what you are talking about would be the Sirui N-3204X Carbon Fiber tripod with their VA-5 fluid head. It uses an Arca Swiss plate. They have a 6 year warranty. The head is fluid and perfect for both applications.
The versatile Sirui N-3204X Carbon Fiber Tripod is a compact camera support with 180° reverse-folding 8x carbon fiber legs, one of which unscrews to convert to a monopod. The tripod has a load capacity of 39.7 lb, weighs 4.2 lb, and reaches a maximum height of 69.3". When the legs are folded back around the chassis the tripod measures 22.8".
The tripod's split center column is reversible and removable, allowing the mounting platform to sit just 5.9" high. Each leg's height and angle can be individually adjusted, and one of the legs can be removed and converted to a monopod. A section of the center column can be added to the monopod to increase its maximum height to 68.9".
A ballast hook on the center column enables you to hang weight and add stability.
Foam padding on two of the tripod legs for added comfort.
Three leg-angle positions for uneven terrain.
Rubber feet with retractable spikes provide stability on most surfaces.
Padded carrying case, shoulder strap, and wrist strap included for transport, as well as tools, an extra 1/4"-20 & 3/8"-16 stud, and an extra platform.

Here is a link to the tripod:

Here is the link to the head:

The height is great and the head is so smooth. We have sold tons of these and everyone is thrilled. Call me and I will give you a 24Hour forum deal and throw in an extra plate since you have 2 things to mount on the tripod. I am here most of the time and look forward to hearing from you

I had got some good tripod legs from keh.com. , Induro, used , good shape , cheap and hold very good. And I found a Manfrotto head in good shape....
I recommend checking on eBay for manfrotto , induro, benro.....legs and heads. Check the weights and see if u can get a good setup cheaper then full price.
