reviving this. besides the cordura bulky cover that Kowa makes, are there any better alternatives to protect the angled kowa 773 spotter? I do not want bulky since I use it for backpack hunts.
What do you use for backpack hunts? I ordered a marsupial gear but now that it is here, I am wondering if I could DIY something lighter. I have also seen some peeps that just roll with a wrap in clothing in their pack. shower me with your wisdom o rocksliders.
I have a Kowa 554. I had some old wetsuits lying around and just cut a piece of the arm and one from the leg off and slide it over. Has worked really well for me and took about 5 min to make.
All I have to say in the subject is: ARMOR YOUR SPOTTERS!!
If I would of had neoprene on this, I doubt it would have cracked. Definitely would have dented but would have probably saved me the trip back to kowa for assessment to see if they can repair it or if I’m out my body on my 88mm.
Long story longer, I took a nasty tumble with the spotter and tripod in my hand and thankfully this is the worst of it.
