    delta spotting scopes

    the kids are wanting to come out more and im thinking of getting a spotter to help get them on to critters . they can use binos but have trouble working out where im trying to direct them . been doing some reading and the delta spotters seem to be ok .anything else in $800-1200ish bracket? would love a high end la-d-da one but that's not happening .

    Restraint is the better part of dignity. Don't justify getting even. Do not do unto others as they do unto you if it will cause harm.

    I've got one and rate it. I think they're probably quite hard to beat for value/quality/weight. Paired mine with an Aoka tripod from aliexpress and whole package was under $1400 and 1.8kg

    I rate mine, punches well above its price and fairly compact, paired it with what’s probably the same AliExpress tripod as above. Some photos of just me holding my phone up to it, is definitely clearer in person, quality seems to drop uploading them too here too, once I get a proper phone adapter will be in business, use 2x on phone camera. I don’t recon my mates swaro had bugger all over the delta other than a bit more zoom

    I've been looking for an eyepiece with family reticle. Fixed at about 25x would be perfect for me.

    Oh that's seems inconvenient. Good to hear your thoughts though.
