I recently bought the Leupold SX-1 Ventana 20-60x80mm Angled Spotting Scope Kit, Leupold's rebadged Chinese product. I am pleased with the scope but not with the tripod or case. The tripod is flimsy and has too small a footprint to manage the scope. It does not tolerate tilting the head to place the eyepiece where I want it, it overbalances and falls. Even with the scope centered over the 'pod, if you touch the scope to aim or focus it you must then wait for the oscillations to damp out before the image is useful. The case is light particleboard that does not withstand much of a bump: mine was nearly penetrated in ordinary handling early on. Consider getting the scope alone and getting a better tripod and cases, or go S.O.B. (some other brand.)
