Rant On 
OK...I have this spotting scope and tripod. I'll admit I didn't spend a lot for either.
Now I'm wondering why I bought them. The tripod mounting head wobbles in the mount, it won't hold a firm horizontal line and the damn legs don't seem to lock fully in place.
And the scope...it has this teeny weeny little ocular lens which you can barely see anything through. If you get close enough to get a full objective lens view, you end up bumping the ocular end and then stuff starts moving, I lose the horizontal line and things go all wobbly.
I think it's time to start looking for a better setup.
