Maybe it's my own interest, but I've been seeing more and more interest in skipping the spotter and using 15x binoculars on a tripod rather than a spotter. By my estimates, my Nikon fieldscope 60 weighs about the same as a pair of 15x binos. I usually get the best picture at a low magnification anyways, and am left with glassing hillsides with my 8x binos, which are very useful still hunting the trees.
Would the 15x binos be as useful, more, less than the spotter? Would I be more productive with the big binos?
Is the use of a tripod with binos' popularity going to change the optics system we pack into the mountains?
Food for thought.
