Hello all-
I'm buying a new tripod and i'm having trouble getting a straight  
answer online. I'm 6' 2'' and i can't figure out how tall the tripod  
needs to be for a straight scope. One site says 6 inches shorter   
then your height, others say 12 inches. Also, most websites and  
companies list "maximum height", i'm assuming this includes center  
column fully extended? Instead of plodding along like i completely  
understand, tall people out there, what is the listed height of your  
tripod?
Thanks
