Screwing off eyecups should hopefully work, I find even when not required it gives a better sense. You can get your eyes up super close and it feels like looking through a window almost.

You have to remove the eyepieces on the Swarovski's to make them work (or work more effectively) so I'm not surprised if you would have to do it for the Kowa's too.I'm going to take the eyecups off
According to Adam Blotkampf (of Adams adapters) the new 66 can’t be adapted. The material must be thicker near eye.bummer I know but he’s got the 664 setup on clearance so if thinking about a set act fast!Ever since the new Kowa 66’s that are compatible with the TE-80XW eye piece was announced, I’ve been real curious about that big eye set up.
Could you use that setup at min and max magnification in both eyes, or both at min and zoom only one in for a closer look?Screengrabbed from AA Instagram
He doesn’t hang around! Looks really cool, I imagine this will be fantastically light and useful for some segment of the marketView attachment 626446View attachment 626447
No idea why you couldn't, I do all of that with twin STS's.Could you use that setup at min and max magnification in both eyes, or both at min and zoom only one in for a closer look?
I asked hoping that wasn’t the answer I love my BTX 115 with magnifier, but I can’t help but wonder what a dual STC looks like. Especially considering the option to remove one for hunts where you really want a less bulky or lighter pack.No idea why you couldn't, I do all of that with twin STS's.
So do my buddy's but I kick their butts with the ability to zoom. I can be zoomed in what 2-3 seconds? What's the fastest you can add that magnifier? If you don't drop anything and manage to stay on target like a minute? More? Less? Regardless if I'm glassing at min mag I can instantly zoom to do a bogey check and if confirmed bogey it's back to min and move on. Back and forth on the BTX takes forever. Now if you're glassing way out on max mag then we're both on the same plane. My downside is the twins are bigger and bulkier than the BTX.I love my BTX 115 with magnifier,
I tried the remove one when I wanted a single scope. Pain in the butt re-collimating everytime you do it. I now own 3 STS's, well one STM and two STS'sEspecially considering the option to remove one for hunts where you really want a less bulky or lighter pack.
Not maybe useful, absolutely no doubt useful. I do it a lot every time I use them and I use them a lot.Maybe it might be useful in some situations to A/B test an area you’re looking at, allowing you to have large FOV at min magnification then max zoom in other eye to quickly check detail.
Pretty unique feature should you require it.
Having each eye at lowest magnification for closer glassing, then cranking both eyes up to max power together for longer viewing or a closer look with both eyes.To clarify you mean having each eyepiece at different magnification?

What 4090 said and often just one cranked up to quickly see if there’s anything to what I think I’m seeing. If not it goes back down. If there is something or it further looks like something then the other gets cranked up.To clarify you mean having each eyepiece at different magnification?
