I managed to get a very good condition second hand Nat 055 plus a 128rc via a birdforum member for £100. Weight was not an issue for me - My birding patch is a short walk or I throw it in the back of the estate car (station wagon). A lot of folk are trading in the heavy tripods for carbon fibre versions.
