    VPA 2 VARIABLE PHONE ADAPTER

    Quite incredible it’s not compatible with the Pro iPhones! 🤷‍♂️

    iPhone 15 Pro Max adaptor for BTX

    By coincidence, I contacted NewPro UK today with regards to Phoneskope adapter availability for the ATX/15 Pro Max. This’ll apply to your BTX also. Their reply: ‘PhoneSkope informed us that they were “running behind” with the production of the iPhone 15 series cases. When pressed they admitted...

    VPA 2 VARIABLE PHONE ADAPTER

    I recently contacted Swarovski to ask whether the VPA2 would be compatible with the 15 Pro Max before purchasing the adapter and they didn’t know.

    Which App to Control and Work With iPhone 13 Pro Max Camera?

    The ProCamera app works well with my 13 Pro Max.

    ME 1.7x Converter - Image Quality

    The 1.7x extender reach/resolution is good enough for colour ring reading at 500m+ on species like Osprey even in significant heat haze, therefore making it an essential piece of kit for me.

    Gitzo

    I’ve been using the 1545T/GHF2W/ATX65 daily for the past 17 days. I’ve found it to be very acceptably stable in a good force 4. The GHF2W fluid head absolutely superb with the 65. Very happy.

    Gitzo

    That’s encouraging, thanks. What scope do you use with it?

    Gitzo

    How do you find this combo of traveller tripod and head long term? I’ve just ordered the head with the intent of using the 1545T/GHF2W with an ATX65. Thanks.

    New ATC/ STC 17-40x56 Telescope

    I have an ATC on order, for which I’ve also purchased the Gitzo 1545 tripod to go with it. Curious to know which tripod head you’ve gone for? The ATC is a possible replacement for my ATX 65 objective module, which I’ll sell if happy with the ATC. The main downside I can see of the ATC compared...

    Swarovski Variable Phone Adapter (VPA)

    I’d say save money and go with a Phoneskope adapter which does the job good enough. Swaro VPA is too ‘1st gen’ for me. Bulky, fiddly, often slipping out of position when in bag etc. And no way would I risk this setup hanging upside down on a lanyard with an iPhone 8 Plus in it! Not secure...

    Swaro 1.7 extender in stock anywhere?

    I bought one two days ago and have already concluded it to be a no brainer purchase for anyone with, as in my case, an ATX 95.

    Birdguides new system

    Ugh! A complete deal breaker for me.

    Birdguides new system

    On the iOS app when first installed, there is an app request for the user to authorise notifications. Haven't received any yet though, so presumably not functional as yet.

    Birdguides new system

    Bird news is all about the apps for me, and much less so the websites. I defected to the RBA app from Birdguides for the cleaner, succinct iOS notifications, which are so on point I can go days or even weeks without even needing/wanting to leave the lock screen or go further in-app, never mind...

    Swarovski New binocular launch

    I have lost count of the number of times I have accidently pulled the diopter out when focusing. It's the main bugbear of my 8x32SV's. A locking diopter is a good thing as far as I'm concerned.
