Gentlemen - Thank you kindly for the advice. After some further study and price comparison, I have the following on the way from Amazon:
Manfrotto 190CX3 Tripod
Manfrotto 128RC Fluid Head
VidPro TC-27 Padded Tripod Bag
I'll report further after I've had this equipment in the field for a...
Moving To Resolution
I today received an email from Jennifer Grandstaff of Zeiss North America Sports Optics Division. As suspected, the fault appears to lie with a third party contractor hired by Zeiss to administer the rebate program. Jennifer promises to make things right. With thanks to...
Rick - Thank You
Rick - Thanks for sharing your experiences with the Benro. That's just the sort of information I'm looking for. Option are good! Best regards, Ed.
Thank You Brad
Thanks Brad. I've been looking at the Manfrotto. I hadn't considered the Feisol. I will check into your suggestions. With best regards, Ed.
Sir Horukuru - Yes, I read that thread before posting. It appears to be a viable option. I wonder if the 128RC Manfrotto head provides a more secure and readily attached/detached connection between scope and tripod. Thank you. ELN
I have a Swarovski 65 MM ATS and am looking for a tripod that would be suitable for backpacking. My requirements:
Weight must be minimal as the scope, tripod, and head will be carried in a backpack over long distances at high altitude.
Collapsed size must be compact enough to fit comfortably...
Thank you
Thank you for the kind words and suggestions. I am in contact with Zeiss and am hopeful it will work itself out. As I mentioned in this thread: http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=159153, the bins are awesome. I'm hoping Zeiss customer service will be of equal quality. With...
Frustrated in Wyoming
I bought 2 pair of Zeiss bins in 2009. My first rebate was paid promptly. The second was denied - injcorrectly. It appears Zeiss has outsourced the rebate process. My calls to the rebate center have not been returned. My email to Zeiss has not been returned. It's...
If anyone from Zeiss participates here, I'd appreciate any help you could give with a denial of my rebate claim for a pair of 10X32 Victory T* FL bins. I've called the rebate center and emailed Zeiss customer service but, my messages have not been returned. Thank you and best regards. ELN
Swaro Customer Service Pays Off
Thanks in great part to the customer service I received from Swarovski, I just bought a new Swarovski ATS 65 spotting scope. Cabelas is having a nice sale. My price was $1570...
I got outside with the new bins for the first time this afternoon. They are clearly (pun intended), the best binoculars I've had the pleasure to use. I was able to discern some terrain detail on the peaks of the Wind River Range that I had never seen with my other binoculars. Although I...
I don't know, yet. I just put them in my "Badlands Vault Bino System":
http://www.sagecreekoutfitters.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=P7002&Category_Code=BDLDS. I've used the Badlands Vault for several months now. It does a great job keeping dirt, snow, etc. away from my...
Mr. Brocknroller - It's actually + 4 farenheit here at Lander, WY this morning. I take some masochistic pleasure in the 27 degree warm up from ten days ago. I'll "see" how the 10X32s perform outside later this morning.
Mr. Capemay - I'll take a close look at the eyecups and the markings...
