Hi Houghy,
I have a Manfrotto,029 head bought off ebay,fairly cheaply,I think about $38.00 all up.
I bought it for my 20x80 Binoculars,BUT,Havent used it yet,as I dont have a tripod,that would handle it,with the Binos.
I am Sure it will handle the ED80,no problems at all.
It is Very solid,Blows away the tripod head the 20x80's are mounted on at the moment,ESPECIALLY,if the lightweight tripod was extended.
Regards.John
