I have a ton of them, given all the video and photo work we do. Many different brands. All are carbon fiber, all are fluid heads, and most have flip lock legs.
It is an adapter that Leupold makes for larger binos. It is faster and more convenient than most the mechanical adapters I have tried. If you go to their website, I think you will find it in accessories or as part of the package for their 15x56 binos.
Hmm. I get a far better field of view with eye cups out and it helps block ancillary light. When wearing glasses, as I did before Lasik, I kept the eye cups down, as when wearing glass that will give you a wider field of view.
@@Fresh_Tracks Pardon the personal question Randy, but from 45yo to 50yo my vision has taken a sharp nose-dive. At what age did you have Lasik done? And how well have the results remained intact? Ballpark cost? How much downtime afterward? What are some things folks thinking about getting lasik should know and be prepared for?
Your binos should come with instructions about how to set the eye cups for your eyes, with or without glasses. Get them set up properly before you go into the field and then don't second guess it when you're out.. leave them where you set them.
Mount your binos to your tripod w/ an outdoorsman mount. I’m sure Randy knows about these but for those that don’t. Shame to see people dropping expensive glass.
not sure your still responding to questions on this, but how far will you glass an area, and what is too far? also, do you glass from roads to other areas or always hike to glassing points? Thanks!

Excellent! Thanks for the advice!
Thanks for watching.
What tripod and head do you prefer for your spotting platform.

Check out Sirui, Slik, and Outdoorsman.
Randy, what is the head y'all we're Velcro-ing your binoculars into? Looks way quicker than screwing in an adapter every time

Randy, whats the purpose of turning OUT the eye cups, for me its like half the field of view is gone?

maybe its just me , i tried the eye cups out glassing the Snowcrests and it just bugged the heck out of me, thanks Randy

those are some toasty mitts.

As always Randy, great advice in these videos!
Thanks for watching.
have you found that 12x50 binos are too shaky to free hand?
You seem like a class act Randy, thank you
What tripod head would you recommend for a 65mm Spotter on a Slik Pro 634

Way after the fact but I’m using a manfroto xpro fluid head.
If only I had the money...
