Best Spotter stand and head?

[hoz53]

Im thinking of buying a stand and head for my Kowa Spotter. Just wondering if anybody can provide some hands on info on them? I will be using it for a variety of different shooting. Thanks.

this is what I use Hoz. It is a little pricey but well worth it.

I have one and do not like it and it is way over priced.
I have a ray vin that I like much better.

I think Ray Vin has retired.

I just put together a set up for under $140. I ordered a surveyors tripod, adaptor and pan headed atachment. Works AWESOME...

The gear buggy stand has to be the most stable stand I ever used! Even in big winds!

Ray-Vin is hard to beat but near unobtainable. The Gear Buggy unit seems to be arguably an equal.

You won't regret it. Like Loreal'....expensive, but worth it.

I did find a Ad with pic of the Ray-Vin. I like how it works with one adjusting knob.

The Polecat that I referenced early on in this thread is a fine unit. The scope head is designed and made by Gary Elisio. Would be hard to beat. Easy to adjust and hold adjustment with out any fuss on your part.

I have a Ray-vin base that I added solid rods too. A couple of years ago I added a Gear Buggy head to it. It is now perfect. If I had to buy new now, it would be a Gear Buggy. Hands down.
