Can’t find any other threads on this so whats the lightest weight spotter you can get that’s halfway decent? I was thinking of he kowa 501 or Leupold golden ring? Anything else to consider in the weight range?
Kowa 553/4 is best lightweight spotter. 28oz and best glass. You pay for it though.
Leupold GR HD is pretty good to.
Trade off is FOV and eye relief.
To clarify as well this is in ~60mm+ range. There are smaller and lighter scopes but you lose a lot of zoom.
what smaller ones do you know of just for my own curiosity I’d like to check out

Damn fine indeed, but when mere ounces count, the Leica televid 62mm APO is simply the best ultralight spotting scope ever made. They are getting tougher to find though in minty shape.The Swavoski ATS 65mm is our favorite lightweight spotting scope!
That's why I'd like to see what that Kowa 553 Prominar looks like since it's magnification range is 15-45. Even though it's like a 55mm objective. You figure even if the 45x is not all that great visually, I'm sure the 33x it offers looks better than the 33x at the tail-most end of the magnification range on the Razor 50mm. Ya follow? And the weight is only 3 more oz.
If you're gonna get this, instead get yourself some 15x Binos with good glass. And don't look back.Anyone have experience with this guy? Could be a pretty cool option. 22x about as much as I usually glass with anyway
That Athlon looks like this Hummingbird 50mm. Little fella. Athlon also makes a 50 mm in there Cronus line that looks pretty cool.
