It's what I have, and with the exception of viewing at the zenith, I find it easy to use. Just unlock, move, and lock. No counterweights needed. However, the 5+ lb binocular might be too much? -------------------- "The best scope is the one you use." -rcg Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on upgrading from 15x70 Nick Lloyd 05/25/08 04:32 AM Re: upgrading from 15x70 Tad S.   07/09/08 02:45 PM Re: upgrading from 15x70 drshivas   07/09/08 03:20 PM Re: upgrading from 15x70 Tad S.   07/09/08 03:34 PM Re: upgrading from 15x70 drshivas   07/09/08 04:00 PM Re: upgrading from 15x70 EdZ   07/09/08 05:00 PM Re: upgrading from 15x70 Dis   07/09/08 07:56 PM Re: upgrading from 15x70 KennyJ   05/25/08 05:15 AM Re: upgrading from 15x70 Nick Lloyd   05/25/08 09:21 AM Re: upgrading from 15x70 KennyJ   05/25/08 10:12 AM Re: upgrading from 15x70 Nick Lloyd   05/25/08 10:32 AM Re: upgrading from 15x70 KennyJ   05/25/08 11:29 AM Re: upgrading from 15x70 Nick Lloyd   05/25/08 11:42 AM Re: upgrading from 15x70 *DELETED* BobinKy   05/25/08 12:42 PM Re: upgrading from 15x70 danm   05/25/08 07:37 PM Re: upgrading from 15x70 Nick Lloyd   05/25/08 08:16 PM Re: upgrading from 15x70 BobinKy   05/25/08 08:49 PM Re: upgrading from 15x70 Nick Lloyd   05/25/08 10:17 PM Re: upgrading from 15x70 EdZ   05/28/08 06:17 AM Re: upgrading from 15x70 pcad   05/28/08 08:53 AM Re: upgrading from 15x70 EdZ   05/28/08 09:38 AM Re: upgrading from 15x70 edwincjones   05/25/08 11:29 AM Extra information 9 registered and 8 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
