By now you have probably heard about the Atlas Binocular offered by Eagle Optics, and you may be skeptical about how good the Intrepid ED really is. Like many of you, I wasn’t sure what to expect.  Since  I  handle a number of really good binoculars on a daily basis, my expectations are pretty high.  But, the proof is in this binocular’s performance and I will have no problem recommending the Atlas Intrepid ED binoculars.

With a showroom full of binoculars, comparing the Intrepid ED against other binoculars was easy. What I saw was exciting. The Intrepid ED easily matches or out performs other binoculars double its price point as the  extra-low dispersion glass in the Atlas delivers bright clarity of the smallest details.  The body design offers  smooth rubber armoring with comfortable thumb grooves and the increasingly popular open-hinge design.

Just as word spread about the incredible value and performance of the now soldout Special Purchase spotting scope, I have no doubt the Atlas Intrepid ED will earn a similar reputation. Eagle Optics customers tell us they want excellent performance without the excessive price. The Atlas Intrepid ED proves that we listen.

At the time of this post, Eagle Optics has one Nikon Premier SE 10×42 (more commonly known as the Superior E) binocular in stock. This is one of those pieces I wrote about last week that customers often wish they had purchased before it sold out. A customer called this morning about a discontinued binocular and was disappointed to learn it was completely sold out.

Wow! What a deal-

The email feature for June 16th is the Leica Geovid BRF Rangefinder binocular. This premium rangefinder is deeply discounted and qualifies for Leica’s $350 rebate. Call us at 1-800-289-1132 to place your order and receive a free shipping upgrade. Once this deal is gone, you probably won’t find one like it again.

I wish I had a dime for every customer who calls Eagle Optics and wishes they had taken advantage of our closeout sales in the past on classics such as the Nikon Superior E binocular or the Fujinon Fieldscope. Now, Eagle Optics is coming to the end of its  inventory on the Special Purchase spotting scope—a deal that has driven many customers to the door of our showroom or the checkout page of our website over the last few months. Don’t procrastinate if you want to own a spotting scope and only have $200 to spend. This one is already well recognized as an exceptional value and performer for this price point.

The Kowa TSN 771 and 772 spotting scopes are another example of pieces that will have optics lovers wishing they had acted while this scope was around.  Long held in high regard, this Kowa scope is one of those pieces that has always exceeded expectations and makes the Eagle Optics staff say, “That is one  sweet scope.” At the current closeout price,  you will be bragging about the performance and value for years to come.

Our 30-day return policy means you can buy from Eagle Optics with peace of mind.  So don’t tarry—I might have to start collecting those dimes.

So, Dad already has his favorite pair of binoculars and a great spotting scope.  Now what do you get him for Father’s Day? How about the chance to bird on a Segway?  This is just one of the many fun-filled events planned for the Midwest Birding Symposium.

Just in time for Father’s Day, the MBS is offering an Early Bird Special.  By registering early, you can save $20 off the cost of the full symposium package.  Hosted by Bird Watcher’s Digest, The Ohio Ornithological Society, and the Lakeside Association during the weekend of September 17 to 20, organizers are preparing for hundreds of  birders to converge in Lakeside, Ohio,  on the south shore of Lake Erie

Plan now to send your Dad to this outstanding birding festival. This will be one Father’s Day gift he cannot stick in the closet!

Keeping up with product changes sometimes seems like one long final exam. The most relentless professor has been Bogen Manfrotto as they have renumbered tried and true equipment, replaced magnesium fiber legs with carbon fiber legs,  and introduced brand new tripod heads and legs.  When the Eagle Optics staff heard that our favorite economical, lightweight travel tripod, the 728B Digi Tripod Kit was discontinued, our first question was, “What is taking its place?”

Happily,  Bogen Manfrotto did not abandon this class of tripod and recently introduced the 7301YB Tripod with 3-Way Head.  Once again our staff can routinely answer a customer’s request for a really great travel tripod that doesn’t cost a fortune.

If only I can remember those new numbers in time for my final exam.

Each spring we update our annual catalog, and the 2009 catalog is hot off the presses and ready for our customers. If it seems odd to you that I am writing via the internet about what some consider an outdated way of shopping, you should see how many Eagle Optics catalogs we mail out weekly.  In an effort to conserve, we only mail catalogs to customers who call or email Eagle Optics to request one.  

The Eagle Optics catalog is a shortened version of our website.  For those of you who cannot shop on the computer, our catalog is a great way to start your search. Not only does it contain our most popular binoculars, spotting scopes, monoculars, and tripods, you can find valuable information about how to understand the optical features best suited to your needs in the All About Optics section.

Do a favor for your computerless friend. Email info@eagleoptics.com or call 1-800-289-1132 and request the new Eagle Optics catalog. They will thank you for giving them a catalog from the optics experts.
