Just bought it yesterday! One word: AMAZING!! It was worth the long hard saving and living cheap. I am the happiest man alive when I'm scoping in nature watching birds, the moon, stars and planes :D
@@grahammiller4985 thanks! Find the spotting scope set up here: www.swarovskioptik.com/at/en/birding/products/spotting-scopes/atx-stx-btx/atx-stx-btx-set/btx-spotting-scope-system/5380551-B2 It is the BTX module with the 85mm scope module.
@@grahammiller4985 also: for tripod video head i always prefer Manfrotto. Choose according to your favoured price range. But not the smallest one. They are very good. www.manfrotto.com/no-nb/produkter/videostativ/videohode/
Yes, you are correct about the 3d... Dont get them if you think its for 3d effect. It is not fake, as it was never designed to be 3d. The benfit is in the comfort of viewing. Not having to close one eye and view with the other like normal monocular telescopes.
As you're all talking Swarovski scopes I know I'm out of my league, but why not just digiscope with a mono ocular? It's probably just me however it seems a lot of money just for a bino ocular. It definitely looks good though, and if they gave me one I'd take it no complaints.
Isn’t it that you lose half the brightness to each eye? It seems this would be 1/sqrt(2) loss of aperture in terms of brightness while retaining full benefit of the enhanced resolution. This means higher useful magnification is possible but general performance will be comparable to binoculars with 70% the aperature.

Congrats :) its the greatest tool for making nature experiences even better! Enjoy 😊✌️
@@TormodAmundsen Great review! Can you help guide me to all of the components of your setup? Looks very well balanced.
Thank you!

@@grahammiller4985 a carbon fibre tripod is also a gppd choice. I use Sirius and Benro for the most part. Solid price / stability ratio. Good luck 👌👍
Have a friend who has nothing but optics Swarovski , wow datum, many adjectives I could use, truly the best optics i have ever used.
Another brilliant Swarovski instrument I’ll never own.
Yay...
Very nice system for long term observations
Indeed😊👌
What was the tripod you had the btx mounted to? It’s very nice
Jesse Ryan its the Swarovski brand tripod 👍 worked super
how far can this zoom? and can this be used for 1-2 mile distance?
*But it has NO 3D-Effect, because its a MONO sent to a Bino (Left and Right is exact the same Picture), so you have the most expensive Fake-Bino ;)*

good comment - you saved me money
The same could be said about binocular microscopes.
As you're all talking Swarovski scopes I know I'm out of my league, but why not just digiscope with a mono ocular?

Thanks Tormod - I wonder if it's patent tight as well as water-tight. Will we have a Leica Bino-scope in the off'ing?!
WILD Presentations 024 7601 6471 i'm sure the other top brands will follow! Great viewing experience
What tripods are everyone using?
I’m hoping Vortex will come up with it soon!
Now we can make stereo photo's too, 3 dimensional, or not?
Its not as 3d of a feel a regular binocular, which are double tubes. But it has the viewing comfort of using both eyes. Stereo in, mono out... ✌️
That's a REALLY SMOOTH AND STABLE TRIPOD HOLY, please tell me the name and brand I'll probably save up for, dreamin...
All Swarovski 👌👌
Very nice but oh the price!!.
*Buy a Bicycle and not a Car, and then you can buy this Scope ;)*
You get what you pay for...😉😉😉
cost more than $5,000 OMG
great
Spingyl Vergara thank you 🙏 And, yes the btx scope is very great :)
yes very nice
But what is the price $$
How much?
So , how many of you sold kidney s to buy this ?~~~
One kidney and my first born...tripod was extra...so I sold my car.
Captain 1985 lmao!
@@XJarhead360 AHAHHA
Birding dream but most buy for death sports
hopeless video very untraiNed way. what is the distance km it can view??
L Sticker
Hopeless video? Your grammar is the most hopeless here. What the hell are you trying to say? I can’t understand you.
May be he meaning useless
Do not forget you will loose half the aperature of the primary lens doing it this way.
