    Hello from Singapore, Binocular help

    Thanks for the suggestions & comments. I’ve been busy over the weekend and even busier at work these past few days, so haven’t been able to consider your recommendations nor reply, but I will do so when there’s more time. Just here to say I’m not ignoring everyone! 😆

    Hello from Singapore, Binocular help

    Thank you @delia todd , @Kits , @KC Foggin for your welcomes. I’m looking forward to learning a lot more about birds here. And also thanks to @dries1 for the good suggestion to get the GPOs rather than Sky Rover in case repairs are needed. I did look at the Cloudy Nights link that...

    Is GPO Passion ED tripod-adaptable?

    Hi all, I’ve been lurking here for a while and have learnt a lot about binoculars and what to look for. I’m looking to get a pair of binoculars for a safari trip to East Africa later in the year, and will also use it for birdwatching in my neighborhood (in Singapore) before & after the trip...
