Perhaps they are no longer made since link given at site below no longer works :

Apparently weigh about 3.5 lbs. Remember seeing one for sale a year or two ago on Ebay and that Focus Optics have had one(?) on offer for some time:

They may be able to advise.

I think the company may have folded up. They were prominent and had a display with a stand at the Rutland water bird fair a couple of years ago. Nothing since then and they certainly were not there this year.

interresting piece of kit - thats for sure!, although it does look like a shoulder to air missle launcher - worrying for any passing aircraft you might care to watch!

Colchester is doing fine Nick; thanks for asking. The birds are OK, but tend to overdo the eyeliner a bit IMHO.

When first saw the Cape Evolution was reminded of the BetterViewDesired review of the Zuka scope here :

What a pity those British plane spotters in Greece didn't have some with them to make themselves less conspicuous...

Hope you'll let us know what you find.

Norm
