Recommended Tripod for spotting scopes?

[Cassidy]

My 10" (with maybe 4-5" of additional elevation capability) tabletop tripod for my spotting scope just broke. I used it for spotting POI on 100-200 yard targets shot using iron sights. It had knobs for horizontal and vertical adjustments; no ball and handle, and no telescoping legs, and though it was not inexpensive years back, its hard black non-metal (composite/plastic?) mechanism for horizontal adjustments broke and is inoperable. Additionally, there was a little instability (very slight wobble) built into the adjustments mechanism that prohibited absolute stability, particularly in wind, and in no wind there might be a very slight wobble in the spotting scope view. I am trying to avoid these somewhat annoying problems with my next tabletop tripod. Looking for a very stable bench top tripod without telescoping legs, with durable horizontal and vertical adjustment mechanism, and most of all stability with no wobble in the view. It will be used with my 20-60X Leupold Sequoia spotting scope. Any suggestions for a tripod replacement (brand/model)?

I like this for bench mounting a spotting scope. Sadly, it says out of stock right now.

Buy or build a bracket to mount a tripod head on a woodworkers pipe clamp.

I dont know anything about any tripod less than an ultra stable one that costs as much as a good used car!

I use one of these...but not for 100 yds, although I guess you could.( Bosch BT160 Tripod )
Its for 1000 yd F-Class... Its cheap and works real well.
