will this tripod accomodate a light (2 1/2 lb) spotting scope?

this is a pretty solid tripod, and it should easily handle that light of a spotting scope.

Yes. This is a one piece unit mount with the arms extending aft, so your scope might get a bit close depending on scope length.

Yes. Bought this for my husband last year and it works with the standard baseplate for spotting scopes.

not sure but I would think so. I use Nikon and also use my spotting scope on it.

If the light stand has the standard 1/4 × 20 threaded screw like a tripod you can attach it.

I use a 20x60 Nikon Prostaff. The tripod is light and strong. The removable clip screws into any standard camera, binoc, spotting scope base. Do take note that the tripod is "compact", thus to be used in a seated position, it is not tall enough for standing. Light weight for carrying while hiking to glassing location.

Hmmm, it's a good product, has a threaded fitting for a tripod but not sure if it'll zoom enough for a spotting scope.

Probably. Mine is a small Taurus Ultra-Light, and there is a lot of extra room.

Yes. Its a table top tripod. not a bad spotting scope for the money either.

Hans, I have personally tried this on the exact spotting scope, being that I used to own one, It will fit perfectly.

The tripod weighs about 9 lbs. No max carrying weight is stated anywhere. I've usually use it with a spotting scope that weight 7-8 lbs and it handles that easily, it would carry much more.

Yes I would think so. I have a 4 lb 90mm Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope (spotting scope) mounted and manages it well.

Sorry but I don't know. I bought the tripod for my spotting scope and it supports it well. good luck, wade

No. I don't recommend using it to hold 1.2 lb and 8" long flashlight. Its just velcro tightening the strap. Your flashlight will be too big and heavy and will cause your flashlight to move. You are welcome to try it and return it if it gives you any issues... but I don't recommend it.

I think what you're asking is how much weight (scope or camera) this tripod will hold. In the specs of the tripod there is a statement that it has been designed to handle "under 2 kg" and "long lenses may not balance well". I use the tripod with a Celestron Ultima 80 angled spotting scope. The scope is 16 inches long and weighs 1.6 kg. While positioning the legs of the tripod allows proper and sturdy balancing, I get a vertical downward drifting of the vertical tilt so I have to focus higher in order to have the scope sight my target properly. Not a good thing for me. I use it primarily for monitoring shooting at targets, but this lack of control is annoying when showing the grand kids the moon, etc. I think what you're asking is how much weight (scope or camera) this tripod will hold.

You Ned a sturdybtripod matched to the weight of the scope. A video tripod with the longer handle works best

Yes. The combined weight of your setup is about 2.5 lbs, and this tripod can hold up much more than that.
