I'm pretty sure I'm going to swipe the card grab me a Kowa 66mm spotter. Only a few days ago I haven't even considered a straight profile but now I'm not so sure.
I use binos on a tripod pretty much exclusively once I'm stationary. 90% of my hunting is backpacking in. The straight profile is appealing for packing, aswell as faster target acquisition and not having to mess with the tripod too much when switching between bino and spotter BUT I also do lots of high angle glassing, both up and down and it seems that I will have to step up to a bigger, heavier tripod than the one I currently have to get the height needed for the straight spotter. Has anyone else been in my shoes and regreted going to a straight scope? Or do the benefits outweigh the downsides? Thanks
Also the straight TSN 66s is $750 cheaper than the angled. Edit: no its not.
