How much does your spotting scope weigh? As I mentioned in my review, my DSLR and lens weigh 4.4 pounds and it holds that weight just fine - will likely hold more.

I think it will hold it. I have a Celestron #52260 C90 Mac Spotting Scope and it holds it just fine. The C90 is heavier than the Ultima 80

I don't know how much your setup weighs but my camera with battery grip and biggest lens is sturdily supported by this tripod. Depending on the direction that you're facing your scope, you may want to extend the two front legs of this tripod for more support. I have not ever had a problem with this tripod as far as weight concerns. This little guy is a tank. Hope this helps.

I use this adaptor with my Canon T3i & Nikon spotting scope. I have a standard tripod so I think it is what you are looking for.

It works with a CPC800, so it should work with your scope too. You will need eyepieces in identical matching pairs. A 2 inch diagonal supports the weight better than the smaller diagonal, but it is not essential.

YES it will hold a spotting scope it has a quick attachment and the standard screw in stud this is the best tripod I have owed yet and if I lost or broke this one I would buy again.

To answer your question better, please think about this. Think about a Celestron 100 MM scope and match that to a Celestron coach's tripod. Goes to a 45 inch. height with V & H adjustment flex rods. The 20 MM increase in light will give you much better viewing. These are quality scopes and you will get years of good service. I have three of these outfits and use them..

It's a perfect match for the Leupold spotting scopes. Just be sure there's a table or bench to put it on a the legs only extend about 20 inches. This is a very sturdy tripod and I highly recommend it over the cheap flimsy ones.

I have a Slik Mini-Pro V for this scope. It's okay for target shooting if you make sure that one of the legs is aligned under the scope; the center of gravity of the scope is a bit forward of the tripod shoe, so most of the small table-top tripods are not wide enough to support the scope. This is my only complaint so far.

I use my wifes Slik U-212 Deluxe It was my wifes she used it for a Nikon camera. It has a multitude of adjustments and is fairly sturdy but a bit shaky to. I would suggest shopping around and bringing the scope with you to try because this scope is fairly heavy. I guess depending on what your using the scope for mine is more than adequate but at the same time I think something stronger would be better. I have to say this tripod is pretty old so I doubt its even available any longer. I still recommend the scope though. Good luck in your search and If your spending that much for a scope spend accordingly for a tripod. I use my wifes Slik U-212 Deluxe It was my wifes she used it for a Nikon camera.

You might want to read the dimensions before you buy. The scope is 4 feet in length and comes with a Dobsonian mount. Unless you are 7 feet tall, table won't be necessary. I use an adjustable stool to sit on, works well.

TRIPOD: Recommended tripod must take at least 4 lbs and upwards, I'd recommend this tripod; http://www.amazon.com/66-inch-Heavy-Duty-Tripod-Bag/dp/B00EVC9PQI/ ADAPTER: The adapter included with the binoculars will work but to me its a bit too flimsy. I'll recommend http://www.amazon.com/Barska-AF10546-BARSKA-Binocular-Adaptor/dp/B000BYH8EQ/ SCREW HOLES: The screw holes on the binoculars is located between the two outer objective lens and is covered with a cap which has the Celestron logo. Just unscrew the cap and you'll see the 1/4 inch hole where you'll attach the tripod adapter. The tripod adapter will now be attached to the tripod plate with 1/4 inch 20 screw, then you attach the tripod plate to the tripod and you can now enjoy your viewing.

No camera tripod is going to hold a 2 foot spotting scope steady with no motion, until you get into a telescope style tripod. Iv'e bean down this road also. I bought a table top SILK & excepted it.

The best answer would be to call Leupold directly, they'd be happy to help. It's also very helpful in talking with Leupold to have the scope's Model Number handy. Good Luck.

A case is a must if you intend to move this scope. So many things can happen to it if you are not careful like bumping into a door jamb, etc. 99.9% of the time I only move the scope to and from the back yard. Even then I use a case. I got this one: Celestron Case for Nexstar 8/9.25/11-Inch Optical Tube (94004) which holds the mount and OTA. If you are going to travel around with it, you probably want to consider one with more padding and is waterproof.

Thanks EvanThat does make sense.I have also since found out this item is discontinued by Celestron and replaced by the avx mount. May hunt to buy one of those instead but imagine same applies.

Thank you for your inquiry. This tripod will get you very close to zenith. It depends somewhat on you are viewing with and the position of the control arm. We hope this has been helpful.
