The Birder Tripod Legs Only An ingeniously simple, stable, and elegant camera/scope support system! Tripods are often overlooked in the scope purchasing experience, but they are a very important piece of the puzzle. A shaky tripod with even the best telescope drastically reduces use-ability and resolution. The Birder® Tripod is manufactured exclusively for The Audubon Shop. Extensive and intensive field testing by professional birding guides and users from around the globe have consistently earned raves and high praise! What sets this tripod apart? TWO LEG SECTIONS The Birder® is the only tripod currently available with just two leg sections! What’s so good about having just two leg sections?
