Manfrotto o55 XB tripod

From Mark in Pennsylvania:This is a big, solid, reliable, and extremely well-made tripod. The leg locks are the best I've seen: smooth and secure. It should be tall enough for anyone, even using a straight spotting scope. I'm 5'9" and with an angled scope I don't extend the center post at all, and don't even fully extend the legs. It is BIG. With a head on it, it is also LONG, but (for me at least) not too heavy to carry around. Of course, it is no trekking/backpacking tripod--far from it--but

Atlas Optics Intrepid ED

From Ted in Virginia:For the money I could not have done better, and I have to thank the staff at Eagle for recommending this purchase. I read complaints on the focus wheel being to slow, for me it is precise since I can read serial numbers on nameplates at a safe distance, say nothing of my fascination with birds. Every detail is clear from edge to edge, an old pair of 10x25 are permanently assigned to be battered up on a four wheeler. I have used them in foul weather with no adverse effects.

Bushnell Elite 20-60x80

From Steven in New York:I just purchased the Bushnell Elite 20-60x80mm Angled Spotting Scope. I needed a good clear scope for birding but couldn't afford to spend thousands of dollars on one. This scope is fantastic! It has the ED Glass lenses, a nice, smooth zoom 20-60x eyepiece, and a view-thru case. I find this scope to be more than adequate for my purposes. It is extremely crisp and clear, even at 60x. The zoom and focus knobs operate smoothly and easily, unlike some less expensive scopes

Leica Ultravid 10x42

Leica is all I'd hoped, and more. Five years ago I was a new birder with 30-year-old inexpensive binoculars. In researching online and talking with experienced birders, I heard that I should buy as much binocular as I could afford, after holding and trying many... I did, buying Leica, choosing the 10s over the 8s because I live in the west and wanted to see across our big skies. For daytime raptors, or early morning, late evening light gain, my Leicas beat anything I have borrowed or tried.

Adjustments are positive and eyecups stay out -or in as desired. The eye relief is a bit long, meaning you won't me burying your eyes into these but will have to hold them just touching your brow. I looked at stars with results as expected- nice. These work great in legal hunting light and I would call them bright even -would not think

Optics, close focus, focus speed and agility are on par with the top binos. Nice job Leica. Heavy binos - I think my 10x50 SLC's are lighter. Heavy and not a superb balance in the hand. Eye relief not that good for eye glass wearers. Try before you buy. Strap holders wont take my harness which meant some custom work and these heavy binos need a harness. 8x all day is great. 12x is great but ***superb*** if you tripod with gitzo carbon fiber.
