I need a tripod to be used for mainly hunting which will be carried in a backpack. As the scope already weighs enough I want to keep the tripod and head weight down without spending $500 on the tripod. So, I'm looking for a tripod that has retractable spikes on the feet and is fairly light. I doubt I will use it much in the full standing position. With that said I'm looking at the:

Velbon Sherpa PRO EL Carmagne 535 Carbon Fiber Tripod ($229 USD)

Is this enough tripod for the weight of the Leica 77?

Any other suggestions on a tripod or even a head that would fit my needs would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
