Unfortunately quality optics and tripods are NOT cheap. Many years back , one of my mentors preached QUALITY in tools, cameras/lenses, hunting optics, etc.
BUY once....CRY once. You then have quality gear. It allows you to see better, for extended periods of time without eye strain. For hunters good optics save you walking/stalking time as one can not only FIND...But evaluate game far more efficiently.
OR....You can buy lower quality optics and gear, then get marginal performance, until You trade them off, lose money and BUY all over again. Or the lower quality stuff simply breaks. In the END you spend a lot of money...And constantly have marginal performance.
Buy good stuff from the start and be done with it.
