Hi folks,
Tracey and I are in the market for a high-end birding spotting scope
and tripod. We have read a few of the online reviews, and looked
through a couple scopes in the field. We have a decent idea of what
we want. But before we drop big bucks at a store, or online, we were
wondering if any of you have one you're looking to sell?
We'd also like your advise on tripods. I'm not sold on Bogens, but
the couple stores we've been in that have high end scopes either only
have these finger-pinching, hard-to-fix, wallet-busters, or they
carry a token Velbon that is too short for my tall wife. Any
thoughts? (I still use a $60 Velbon I bought in 1992 and have abused
terribly. I'd keep it except it hurts her back...)
Please reply offline.
thanks,
Charlie
