For every broken binocular there’s a story - hopefully a good one! I remember during one field trip, when the jaeger watching was exceptional, the weather was just awful - high winds and rain for two straight days. Unfortunately, my Swarovski 8×30 SLC succumbed to the harsh elements and fogged internally. Though [...]

Best $200 Binocular!
Apart from its lack of name recognition, the Atlas Optics Sky King 8×42 at $199.99 is one of the best binocular deals on the market right now. Its optical quality compares very favorably, and sometimes exceeds, binoculars that cost nearly twice the price. When I bought my 8×42 EO Rangers nearly ten years ago, I [...]

I’m sure you’ve seen the following digiscoping practice in the field. Using a spotting scope, a birder scans terrain and habitat when something of interest grabs his attention.

With 10x, a significant portion of users will experience discernable image shake. At 12x or above, I generally recommend tripod mounting the binocular to obtain the [...]

Because they’re being discontinued, prices on Swarovski’s ATS/STS series spotting scopes have been dramatically discounted, both 65mm and 80mm, HD and non-HD models. Only [...]
Harness Strap Tip
Have you ever considered trying a harness strap? I’ve fitted all of my binoculars with one for two great ergonomic benefits: 1). They greatly reduce binocular “swing” while you walk, and 2). The weight of your binocular will be distributed through your shoulders and back instead of your neck, making it considerably more [...]
