    Digiscope video

    According to what I'm reading, the P900 85X optical zoom is only equivalent to a 42X spotting scope. Similarly, the P1000 125X zoom is equivalent to 60X spotting scope. Are you saying that your P900 gives a better more detailed image than your Swaro @ 65X? I would really appreciate some...

    Digiscope video

    That is an excellent suggestion. I used to be a major photo gear guy. I tried earlier incarnations of the superzooms and they were so so. Later, I heard that superzooms were really amazing. The cameras are cheaper, smaller, lighter than high end spotting scopes. Some have WIFI and / or BT...

    Yes, I would be interest in chatting. I've tried products similar to your product. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of the phone or tablet hanging off the spotting scope. There has been several incidents that someone clumsy or young kids kicked the tripod while the tablet was attached. Another...

    Maven S1A Spotting Scope

    Thanks for the update. Why did you get rid of the S.1a? My main gripe against the S.1a is the 50x max magnification @ 64 ounces. I have a Vortex Razor 27-60x85 which is the same weight but with 10x more magnification. However, its good but not impressive. I like my Maven S2 a lot because...

    Tripod/Head Recs Multi Use

    No. DRD is correct. Not all "ARCA Swiss" are the same. Some Asian ARCA plates have more or less angle. So the fit is not exact. True ARCA standard is supported by top brands like Acratech, RRS, Gitzo, ...etc. Sirui makes some really great gear that fully support ARCA Swiss standards but...

    How late it too late to totally change careers? Who's done it (w/o being $$-secure already)?

    Totally feel you!!! I'm 58 and have been self employed since 1996 in the IT Field. Ultimately,I realized life balance is more important than chasing money - I didn't realize this until my mid 30s. Most people probably live beyond their means and are probably a few paychecks away from the...

    Digiscope video

    Great idea. I'm looking for something similar with a digiscoping camera for viewing and/or recording (on phone / tablet) shots on targets. I've researched several spotting scope cameras like LongShot and SME which are both WIFI. Longshot reviews seems pretty decent while SMI reviews suck...
