    8x30 EII - Eyecups and Cap Replacements

    I did message Nikon UK as well as Japan too - Nikon Australia just sent me to a "repair agent" here in Western Australia. How long did you wait? Was there much cost?

    8x30 EII - Eyecups and Cap Replacements

    Did the actually discontinue supplying them? I'd have to get the measurements of the objectives and then try a microscope supplier, that sounds like a good idea!

    8x30 EII - Eyecups and Cap Replacements

    Hello all, I managed to snag a pair of EII for $450 AUD 💪 It did appear they have had their eyecups folded down and therefore rubber deterioration. Has anyone found a supplier for the eyecup replacements and also the objective/rear caps? I did see some on ebay but they seem to have a big...

    Move shoot move tridapter.

    I have that adaptor (the original one they released) and it works pretty well. Its all metal and allows for good adjustment. Could probably use a bit of threadlock on it to slow the speed your able to adjust, to make it a little more fine but its definitely worth the $. Happy to post photos if...

    Perth

    I live in Perth (south near Fremantle). End of January is very hot, but early morning and late evening is good. Lots of easily accessible places, but you may need a rental car - as others said Lake Herdsman is popular and around Cockburn there is wetlands. Lots of other places further out like...

    Dodotronics or Parabolic Microphone UK?

    I think the interface would suit me well then as I think the 24bit would be a good place for me to start without having big audio files whilst learning and it keeps it simple. I also like the idea that its a small portable unit, but your right sometimes birds are pretty far away here or I...

    Dodotronics or Parabolic Microphone UK?

    Thank you for your awesome response Jon! I think I considered the parabola as the go for me as I'm in Australia so there is usually quite a distance between me and the bird, so I'm frequently using a 10x binocular for that little bit of extra reach. So I thought it would be best to go for a...

    Dodotronics or Parabolic Microphone UK?

    I'd like to start making recording using a parabolic microphone setup but I'm a bit lost where to start. I saw the Dodotronics Hi-sound Compact with the USB interface which looks good... But then I also saw the Parabolic Microphone UK kit which is much cheaper and a larger dish but I'd need to...

    Celestron Regal M2 vs Svbony SV406P

    Haha I know right, my partner had just brought me MacDonalds as I was opening it all up 😜. I agree, its very handy when there are reviews of scopes so you can make an informed decision. It was hard with the SA401 because there was so little online yet the scope looked really good...So it could...

    Celestron Regal M2 vs Svbony SV406P

    Funnily enough, I just purchased the SA401 last week and I'm writing a review up now. Will post a link when its completed. But so far I'm very impressed with it!

    Can't decide!
