Hmmph... Really? Wow....well alrighty then. Thanks for your insight. Guess I lucked out by getting the Micro first! (since I also have a small spotter). Duly noted.
You probably could run a small spotter on the pistol grip but it’s certainly not ideal for a spotting scope. However the micro pan head is a little powerhouse. I run a 77mm 25-60 Kowa spotter on it with no issues at all.
