RSPB AG80 Scope with Tripod (1 Viewer)

I've just ordered the RSPB AG80 Scope, case, 35.5x eyepiece and Tripod with an additional RSPB AG 15-45x zoom/20-60x zoom eyepiece which will be delivered on Tuesday of this week. I would appreciate anyones views on this article either productive or negative on this Scopes performance.

assume you have the option to try it for a while? Otherwise, its bit late to ask this question!

imo this is an ave scope for the money. tbh though am not fan of the rspb branded stuff.

Better value elsewhere...there products are designed for the green welly brigade, middle class folk, with more money than sense. If the welly fits.....theni guess you arent looking for `value for money`.

Second hand ED scope would be another option....

IF you want to compare/contrast it to an ED scope let me know, your not million miles away )

I've just receaved my AV80 Scope with Tripod from the RSPB, but there seems to be no way to attach the Scope to the Tripod and the instructions are just to attach a camera. Can anyone help?

I've managed to get the AV80 Scope on to the Tripod, but I had to get in touch with the RSPB Online Shop by email and they got back to me and they where a great help. There was no instruction on how to attach the Scope to the Tripod, but there was how to attach a camera, which wasn't very good.

thursday looks good for seawatching on east coast. Suggest you trial it at newbiggin.(behind the church)

bring warm/waterproof clothes....
