    The mulepack - Great tripod carrier!

    SCOPAC - Simply the best I have had and regularly used a Scopac since they came out many years ago now. They are well made and tough as old boots and still look as new despite the use it has had. What the 'Toggle' thing is you speak of, I just don't know. As all the attachments are very...

    Manfrotto 190CXPRO4 Review

    All the photo's show the handle of the 700 RC2 on the right. I wondered. Can you change the position of the handle onto the left also. The same as you can with the 701hdv.

    Manfrotto 190CXPRO4 Review

    Thanks for that info.:t: I wondered. If when operating the 700RC2, with the pan & tilt lock head. Do you have to continually keep adjusting the tilt lock? I see it has a 'Pan Drag' but to stop the scope from tipping backwards or forward, everytime you stop viewing or look through your bins. Do...

    Vortex Doubler. Does it?, and how well?

    I presume from your comments that a glasses wearer like myself, would not be able to use the doubler at all with any success. As us blind folk need much longer eye relief with glasses. NB.

    Vortex Doubler. Does it?, and how well?

    I have a piar of Vortex Viper 10x42 bins. I also have a problem carrying my scope far due to a bad hip problem. I have looked everywhere to ease my problems and have just been told about a Vortex Doubler which in effect turns your bins into a mini scope, sort of. Just a few questions please...

    Vortex Viper vs. Razor?

    Vortex Vipers I believe that much of the problem with the British optics market and or the British birders perception of what is/are good bins is down to how much they cost. If they are cheap they must be inferior and how would one explain a pair of Vortex hanging around ones neck at the next...

    Scope and Tripod Carriers

    Anyone who has been using the Scopac lite regularly can they tell me if the mesh back type lite version is prone to wear and if it stops you overheating. I have had the original since xmas and find it very well made and strong but with the solid material back it becomes sweaty after only a short...

    Opticron Oregon?

    I have tried the 8x30 oregon which offer good value for money at £99. They are light well made waterproof, have a massive field of view and a very bright image. I was asked to try them at Cley Spy and to compair them with my own bins. But without looking at the price first. I was then asked, How...
