    Review of Meopta B1 MeoStar 10x32

    Wow Lee, in my long absence you have been appointed a moderator and it would seem that your taste in binos have greatly expanded. Joseph

    New to birding and of course looking at Binos, Are MHG 8X42 overkill?

    Good glass is always preferable there is no such thing as overkill for a beginner. everything has to do with budget and perceived value. For me I can never use lower end optics, as I am a bit too fastidious for anything short of perfection. Even at the flagship alpha level I am still...

    Rise of the hipster Birdwatcher.

    I am not sure if i am a Millennial but i was born in the late 80s, I carry both binoculars and cameras maybe not always on the same day. I think that Birding is something that generally comes in a later stage of life, akin to collecting of any sort. I think nature observation is quite popular...

    this is crazy within 1.5 years of not been around , zeiss got new pocket models, leica has new noctivids, nikon with the new HG and new brands like maven and GPO with reasonable priced binos that perform well. I have been missing out alot

    Thanks

    I am looking for a shotgun mic any recommendations

    It seems that the popular ones that birders use is the Sennheiser mke 600 and the mk66/k7 which comes with their own power which is not necessary for me right ? As my recorder has its own phantom power. And having such is more costly right ?

    Troubador's Review: MeoStar B1 10x42 HD

    Hey Lee You and meopta, I would have never guessed as you are such a Zeiss fan. I have been tempted to buy the meopro HD for rough use

    I am looking for a shotgun mic any recommendations

    I am new to nature recording. I am using a tascam DR-100mkiii which I use for music and video. I am probably going to mainly record in tropical rainforest. Any recommendations ?

    I feel your pain, whenever I travel struggle to live with slow internet. In Singapore some of the telcom companies offer symmetrical upload and download .

    Storing Optics in the Tropics

    Fungi can grow on the surface of the objectives. Best to keep in a dry cabinet

    Zeiss HT - 2 years on

    I think everybody here knows my story so there is no need for me to harp on it. Optically it is great. Build wise I seem to be in the minority.

    The NEW Meopro HD line...still no thoughts?

    I already have a pair of 42s and also have a pair of nikon EII 8x30 which are my favourite pair of bins but I want to get a pair of binoculars for camping and I can be rough with it. It is for trips where I am not birding but want a pair as a side thing to do like on a trek or fishing.

    Moderately priced 8x30-32 compact.

    Nikon EII 8x30. By far my favourite pair of binoculars. Most comfortable view. Even beats the alphas that I have and used.

    The NEW Meopro HD line...still no thoughts?

    Thanks for the info, I am planning to get a pair of waterproof 8x32. Weighing my options between the SV, conquest HD and the meopta. By far the cheapest and might suit the rough and tumber purpose that I am going to use it for.

    Zeiss Victory SF 8x42: First Impressions

    Does any one here have any insight if Zeiss would be making a 32mm flagship anytime soon ?

    The NEW Meopro HD line...still no thoughts?

    I wonder how is the focussing wheel ?

    Astroscope + DSLR = Gallery!

    My ota weighs about 7.5kg and with the clam shell a heavy duty tripod head, tripod which already weighs about 6 KGS, a lot of adaptors that Takahashi love so much and the camera. So ota is 7.5kg + clam shell is 0.8kg + tripod and head 6+kg + camera 1 kg + adaptors 0.5kg = 15.8 kg

    Astroscope + DSLR = Gallery!

    I think I might retire this scope from terrestrial use unless I get a porter or only at a fix position. It is way too heavy for birding use. The whole setup with tripod is almost 15-16 kg. One day in the field is quite enough. I might have to save up for a 500 or 600 f4 lens,it would be much...

    Yup, that is the scope
