    Retrovid replacement leather strap

    I splurged on a pair of 10x40 Retrovids, and as others have noted, the thick neoprene strap included just sticks out like a sore thumb. I ordered a 4V Design Classico Medium strap in black with cyan details for £28 from Amazon UK, which goes much better. It's a thin leather strap with a...

    Interesting new camera, possibly of interest for birdwatchers

    I saw this Canon project, a monocular-format camera with 100mm to 400mm FF equivalent focal lengths, and a 1/3" sensor. Seems like an ideal pocketable birdwatching camera, having essentially a 2x-8x magnification...

    Arca-Swiss foot for the S2?

    I have the S2 82 HD with 30-60x eyepiece. I'd like to replace the Manfrotto-type foot with an Arca-Swiss style QR plate, ideally replacing the Manfrotto altogether so I can use my photo tripods, failing that an Arca dovetail that attaches with two screws to the Manfrotto foot so it can't twist...

    How to locate birds in dense foliage?

    With the arrival of spring the trees are covered in dense fresh foliage. I can hear the birds, but am having a hard time locating them. I'd be interested in tips or techniques you may have to make this easier.

    Arca-Swiss style foot for the Meopta S2?

    I just acquired a Meopta Meoptar S2 82 HD scope. It has an integrated Manfrotto-style quick-release plate screwed onto the scope's ring mount, and is clearly removable. Does Meopta or anyone else make an Arca-Swiss style QR replacement foot for this scope? All my tripods are equipped with...

    Loose screw inside a 8x42 HT?

    I grabbed my 8x42 Victory HT to observe a hummingbird and noticed a rattling sound. On further inspection, there is a loose screw in the left barrel, apparently one of the 4 that hold the third group of lenses from the objective (the second group that moves during focusing). It also looks like...
