Reading atc vs. stc I remembered to share my experience: - I was thinking of getting a STC56 to combine with my STX115, to get wider FOVs for more easily localise marked ducks and then resight these with the X115. After many years using 15x56 binoculars, I opted instead for a Canon 18x50 IS since would get wider FOV and AFOV than with the STC at 17x, would be using both eyes, wouldn't need an extra tripod (or a double bar to mount the scopes in parallel...), and wouldn't had to carry more a device. I know that my birding is different from most users but nowadays, when travelling, I usually will not carry the spotting scope and will only take the IS binocular!
So if you are considering to purchase a travelling spotting scope, consider to get instead a IS binocular >=15x! Besides not having to carry a tripod, you also only will carry a binocular...
This recommendation applies until I will read a positive review of Kite 60 IS 17-35x - I state already that I would prefer a binocular version of it!...🦆
