how tall are you?

most 10x50 do not weigh much, except the andrews ultra 10x50 MB which are 1.6kg.

i recommend a fluid head, with a buffer of at least 2kg (unless its a manfrotto - gtizo -they can hold what they actually say ) so if the head says 4kg rated, don't put bins on more than 2kg-2.5

one I've had & would recommend is the william optics tr188 - can be had on WO online for 125 + about 15 post

other than this a decent quality carbon fibre tripod should fit the bill

if you want Aluminium something like manfroot 190 is a minimum, 055 or 028 are better...i am tall so i make sure i get a 1.90M tripod
