If you are over 6 ft tall and plan on standing....angled
You’ve got to be kidding.
I am 6'4" and amazingly, I agree with Brad for about the first time.
Then you must love to bend over.....
You ever do time?
Really? You seem to have the experience...
Use a real tripod and real men do not have to bend over.
While mentioning tripods... the head makes a HUGE difference in user-friendliness. From Doug I have gotten several different fluid-drive pan heads and the difference is incredible. SIRUI VH-10 is the bigger one I use now and really like it. I use the next size down in the same line for smaller scopes. I also have two different sizes of Manfroto pan heads and really like them just fine, but the SIRUI line is cheaper.
