    Swarovski ATC: which lightweight tripod?

    I mount the lever like this because it falls better to my hand. When I look through the ocular, my hand is putted on the lever, my arm and my elbow are supported by my body, and my hand touches my cheek... I'm like a block without bent wrist :-) I feel more stable.

    Swarovski ATC: which lightweight tripod?

    Hello, new owner of the ATC, I searched for a compact, lightweight, stiff, easy to carry on my backpack tripod+head. I went to different photo stores to try some models. Not really convinced by ultra compact ones due to lack of stability IMO (peak design carbon tripod and another brand I forgot)...

    Camo painting for tripod

    Has anyone here ever camouflaged an entire tripod with paint? if so what technique and Kind of paint did you use?

    Swarovski ATC: which lightweight tripod?

    Waiting for my ATC, I 've already buy the tripod : benro slim alu + S2C fluid video head. I'm think s2C video head is perfect for ATC, I used it with kowa 553 and it was great. However, I'm not so sure for the tripod height. I tested benro slim carbone too, but it was not stable enought IMO.

    New ATC/ STC 17-40x56 Telescope

    Hello, just my feelings and personnal opinion about ATC I tested during a nature event on September. In the past I have owned vortex razor 11-33 and kowa 553 as compact spotting scopes. I've never be really satisfied by these scopes because of global performances (vortex) and FOV (kowa). I sold...

I enjoy everything about nature and practise birdwatching as a hobby. I red this forum for a long time without posting yet...
