Thanks for the in depth breakdown. It looks like you might be sponsored by vortex, but what are your thoughts on vortex vs Euro glass? Is it worth an extra $1400 for improved glass quality?
Great question. Lots of good options out there in terms of brands. We use Vortex, but obviously others work well. In my experience, I really don't think going to a swaro is necessary. Great quality product, don't get me wrong, but the differences are subtle and likely will not make a difference in seeing animals. The Razor line is top notch. However, if you have the budget for an extra $1400 worth of optics, by all means give it a go. I think you can take that $1400 savings and buy some other great gear for your kit or put it towards a killer hunt and you'll be just as happy.
@@Argali Thanks for the insight! I appreciate the recommendation for Vortex and the advice on saving for other gear or a great hunt. I'll definitely consider the Razor line.
What's best is one thing, but in the end it's about what makes sense financially and how much you're willing to carry. Not everyone can or wants to spend 10k on glass. Personally I really like those compact spotters. Maybe I even go mini spotter only for budget and weight reasons.
No disagreement on that point. Good glass is expensive and it depends on your budget.
You’re right about a 10x50 letting in more light but incorrect on a 12x50 letting in more light in comparison to the common 10x42. Their exit pupils are as follows: 10x50 has a 5.0mm the 10x42 has a 4.2mm and a 12x50 has an exit pupil of 4.16. Exit pupil is a measurement on how much light can enter the eye and it’s a ratio of magnification AND objective lense. 12x50 is the least bright of the 3
Great info thanks for taking the time to make this video. Love your guys gear 🤙🏼
Appreciate ya!
Thanks for the great info, Do you see any practical use for the Sig Sauer image stabilizer Zulu 6 binoculars?
Have used image stabilized binos a bit but not much. Really handy for archery elk hunting when you have a bow in one hand and want one handed bino operation. The stabilization is fantastic.. But for me, the glass Ive seen in them still isnt great for longer distance glassing and I prefer my Razors for nearly all hunting situations. If you only still hunted, might be a good option to consider. But when I put my binos on my tripod, which I do a lot to pick apart country, there isnt any advantage with the stabilization.
