Opticron Spotting Scopes | MM 3 and MM 4 Range

[@davidarmstrong4363]

These are great scopes for the money! I purchased the angled mm4 77 scope with the sdlv3 eyepiece and am very pleased with it's performance. The optical quality is on par with our alpha glass binoculars, Swaro and Zeiss). My wife and I use this scope primarily for birding. It fills our long distance needs perfectly. We mount it on a Sirui ST-24 tripod with the VA-5 fluid head, which has proved to be stable and lightweight. We also purchased some accessories. These include, Opticron's green canvas case, which is high quality, but almost too tight. It's difficult to operate both the swivel mechanism and the sun shade while the case is on. The phone adapter leaves much to be desired, especially for the high cost. It's not very stable and not as well designed as the competition. To make it even more convenient for hikes, I picked up a scope backpackthat attaches to the tripod legs, (made by LensCoat). This allows me to go hands free and use my binos while hiking. That said the scope is the best bang for your buck for those looking for a lightweight, near-alpha glass experience without the sticker shock. Well done Opticron!
