    NL Pure 12’s or 14’s

    I like the 14x NL as a complement to a 10x best. The 12x NL is a better compromise for general use than the 14x NL, although I prefer a 10x even more for general use. This is likely because I spend more time with my binocular handheld than not. For the poster that wanted a 95% tripod 5%...

    Ultralight Tripods, By Matt Cashell

    That is such a tough question to answer! I really think that matching the capabilities as closely as you can maximizes overall stability. You are only as stable as the weakest link in the system.

    Ultralight Tripods, By Matt Cashell

    Ultralight tripods like those in this article are useable for shooting. Out of these three, I liked shooting off the Slik the most. It handled my 10 pound rifle fine. However, I still prefer larger, more stable tripods for shooting, when possible. I have a Velbon that is a little over three...

    Ultralight Tripods, By Matt Cashell

    I also reviewed those last year: https://www.rokslide.com/tricer-tripod-head-and-bino-adapter-review/ I agree that those looking for a lightweight tripod would do well to look at the AD. Bonus it is much better for standing use than any of the three in this article. I kind of arbitrarily draw...

    Ultralight Tripods, By Matt Cashell

    The Outdoorsman’s is the reference standard for hunting heads, imo. The Wiser is my favorite ultralight panner. The MTN Nano is the best value going, and by a lot.

    Ultralight Tripods, By Matt Cashell

    That’s a great compact tripod, but it is kind of in the next class up in weight IMO, especially compared to the Slik and MTN.

    Ultralight Tripods, By Matt Cashell

    In the past, tripods in this size and weight range were pretty flimsy. The tripods in this review are not flimsy. The part of the market for stable ultralight tripods is relatively new and rapidly expanding. I tend to think a true reference standard ultralight tripod has yet to emerge. I...

    The Backcountry Lite looks comparable to those in this test. I haven’t tried that one though.

    Vortex Razor UHD 8X32 and 10X32 Mid Size Binoculars

    As I noted in the review, the edge performance is good, although there is some resolution fall off and field curvature. The FOV is extremely wide. The NL series has fantastic edge performance and an even wider FOV than the UHD. If edge performance is a priority, the NL is the winner … but it...

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 FFP with SHR-W MOA reticle Field Tested and Reviewed

    I find the daylight usability sufficiently bright, although I don’t often use illumination in bright conditions. In low light I have to use the lower settings because the higher settings are far too bright and overpower the image. There is some illumination bleed into the crosshairs on my sample.
