best table top tripod for this scope?

I used a very short one for shooting. I recommend the Vangard model that is the right height for you.

I've used a table top tripod with this and had good luck, like for target shooting, etc.. For star gazing, a regular tripod where you stand up, worked better for me. If the wind is blowing, it will probably shake some no matter what one you use. Outside of that, I think it's a great spotting scope. Hope I helped.

This is A heavy scope with a less than perfect center go gravity. I am using an alpena plastic with a fairly wide footprint. It's barely enough. It's plastic. it wiggles a lot when you focus or zoom. Do you own this scope now? Are thinking stars or on the ground. I would not recommend ultima 80 for astronomy. Blue shift issues. Works fine on the ground.

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.

Yes. Table Top Tripod. Mounting screw on scope bottom is standard so can use with camera tripods, etc etc. Good value as spotting scope for shooting out to around 500 meters

I bought a tripod setup made by Orion. Not cheap, but it is a really nice addition to give the SkyMaster more functionability. Here is the link for what I purchased http://www.optcorp.com/or-5379-paragon-plus-binocular-mount-with-tripod.html

For the money go with an EoTech. I returned my MEPROLIGHT because the mounting didn't feel solid, even after adjustment. Maybe I got a bad one who knows. I already spent the money to swapped it out for a Aimpoint T1 micro and haven't looked back since. But to answer your question, I felt it sat to high on the rail.

Any camera tripod will work, BUT be very careful threading the bolt into the recorder - it is plastic and easily stripped out. This is a major design defect of this otherwise excellent recorder.

Any 3x9 leaper scope. Does not have to be expensive there is no recoil. I got a quick sight. You need dovetail ring mounts for scope or a weaver rail adapter.

I've seen the little table top bendy leg tripods sold on Amazon for cheap. However, I've looked through this monocular at high power, and I can hand hold it while standing with just a fine gitter in the image. I also know people who can't hold 7x steady.

It is a table top tripod. I have never used it because it is so bad. I bought a scope stand from Creedmoor sports. Cost almost as much as the scope but it makes the scope so much easier to use.

I haven't had that problem but the supplied tripod is really cheap and flimsy. Just get yourself a more stable, inexpensive tripod. It will make your scope much more functional.

A medium duty tripod, with right angle adaptor, will suffice. For a larger investment, check out the Orion "Paragon-Plus" binocular mounting system, which will hold a binocular up to 5 lbs very securely at any angle. The minimalist anwer would be a monopod with angle adaptor, which is both lighter and much less expensive.

I use this with a Canon 7D. It's very well balanced with a camera on it. My tripod is a Manfrotto 055CXPRO3 but I think just about any tripod above the cheap lower priced models would suffice.

Try buy the JOBY Ballhead for SLR Zoom Tripod - A Ball Head Tripod Mount With Quick Release Plate sold at Amazon.com for $27. So good I bought 5 of these. Easy to switch cameras or LED lights and flash.

MC352T, I Googled it and found this on Amazon (amazingly enough!) http://www.amazon.com/SE-Tube-Table-Magnifier-MC353B/dp/B002W269ZY

You are limited by the tube magazine, my suggestion is to go with scope rings with a picatinny rail integrated in the ring, a picatinny rail that mounts to your scope or a tri-rail type base. there are side angle rails that give you other options as well.

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.

The one that came bundled with my purchase is a good tripod: It is made by Slik, and has flick-lock adjustments on the legs, which I like better that the twist-lock kinds. This scope is large, so be sure you get tripod solid enough for the job.
