I use the Vanguard Alta (255C0) w/ my swaro. Its fairly light but heavy enough to provide good stability in less than ideal conditions.

I went overboard and bought a manfrotto 055cx4pro...YIKES...pretty unreal though! For the record it was Mark Seacats idea!

I have a Culman for my 65mm swarovski, not sure how much heavier the 80mm is but it balances the 65mm well and is fairly lightweight and not super expensive. I am sure there are better ones, but for something that I can thrown in the the pack they arent bad at all. I use a different heavier tripod when I am closer to the truck.

I used one set up for everything. A full sized carbon
Swarovski tripod (with qr legs) & I threw the plastic head that
came with it in the bin & screwed a manfrotto 128 rc,
(quick release) head onto it. Adds a touch of weight to
stabilize when glassing, but it is never too heavy to go
on a long distance backpack hunt with me.
Plenty of lightweight tripods out there, but getting the right
fluid head is very important.

Check out the outdoorsmans triopods they are very nice and not overly heavy.

I use an ultra light and compact velbon contrary to all sage advice when packing the swAro on my back. Shaky in the wind but otherwise fine.

I use a SLick tripod. one of the best I have found. Fits perfect with 80mm spotter attached in my MR Crew Cab which is a huge bonus.
