    Gitzo quick release plates

    I bought a G2380 with plates for my scope and long lens. The double screw plate for the lens works well but the small plate for the scope is trickier. The screw that attaches the plaste to the scope works loose. I miss the good lock on the Manfrotto plate! I could use Loctite or similar but...

    Backpack for my gear

    My normal setup for birding is a D300s+TC2,0III+300VRII. I'm looking for a backpack that can hold this without trouble but still be fairly small. I've been looking at the TT Glass Taxi but from what I have read the TC would have to be removed. Anyone with a recommendation? Thanks!

    Adapter for Kowa TSN-883 with 20-60 EP

    Hi all! I'm looking for the best adapter for my new scope, the TSN-883 with the 20-60 EP. I will use my old Coolpix 4500 to begin with. I've found two alternatives locally (i.e. in Sweden), the Kowa TSN-DA10 and the Focus slip-on. The TSN-DA10 looks well-made but it could be a hassle to change...

    Hello from Dalarna, Sweden

    Hi all! I just found this forum when browsing the net for info on my new scope and digiscoping solutions for it and my old CP4500. There's so much info here, I'm impressed!
