I just bought a good spotting scope that I plan to use both at the range and for hunting. I've discovered how difficult it can be to make small adjustments to center the object you want to view, so I'm looking for something with a "micro adjust" feature.

My old Tasco tabletop tripod had micro adjustments for both windage and elevation, but that tripod only fit the Tasco scope, not scopes with the 1/4-20 threads for typical camera tripods.

Bushnell makes a micro adjust tripod but I read some absolutely HORRIBLE customer reviews of that tripod.

I prefer not to buy a verticle rod scope mount because that's not useful for hunting, though that might be my last resort for use at the range.

Does anyone know of a good micro adjust tripod? or a micro adjust adapter that works with a camera tripod?

Thanks
