I’ll make your shopping list for you!
15x56 meopta meostar- keep an eye out you can get them for $1k
8x32, 8x42, or 10x42 meostars. Same as above for $500.i use 8x42 most of the time but have all 3.
Sirui 124 with va5 head. $269 on Amazon right now for a GREAT all around setup, trust me as someone who has tried dozens of tripods and heads, there’s absolutely no need to spend more on a glassing tripod(unless you’re packing in and want to cut weight, then it’s a different conversation) but for relatively lightweight, good in all situations setup, it’s the best bang for the buck out there, and I’m not sure there’s anything close in value.
The meostars are better then non hd swaros, and almost as good as the hd. My opinion, you can’t do better for the price. If I lost my slc hd 15s, id buy the meostars and not feel like I’m missing out…. To my eyes they’re quite a bit better then razor uhd, and quite a bit cheaper. Heavier though….
