Ralph, that's an impressive set-up! Could you give us an estimate of the total weight of the binos mounted as shown? Is this still grab-and-go for you and easy...

Hi, my Nikons are 10x70. I was thinking about other binos I'd looked through last month. What's the 6.5 number mean that's right beside the 10x70 on the binos?...
... Mary, That is probably the field width in degrees. Mine say 5.1. If yours are 6.5 degrees then you must have an older wide field model of the Nikon...

Ralph, When I called about this tripod I was told the website had NOT been updated for 4 (FOUR) years and the price is now $450.00. Sadly disappointed, Michael...
It figures that price was too good to be true. BTW, what was the model number you mentioned on the fluid head that can support 35 pounds? Lanny called me...
Ralph, The head is a model #316 or #3274. It retails for around $1000.00. I don't think Lanny will want to spend that much on a head. There are lot of combo's...

Has anyone tried the Oberwerk Mariner series binoculars? I am considering buying a pair of high-quality, hand-holdable binoculars, and the Mariners look good....
I tried a pair of the 10x60's a few months back- and had to return them, as the eye relief was excessive for me. had to hold them away from my face to use...
Szalma, I have the 8x40 Mariners. They are well build, heavy-duty, and have a very wide field of view. If you like a very wide field of view they are great,...
... Thank you! The Genesis series look great for the price, and they carry 10x50's, which I prefer to 7x50's for astronomy. They're also lighter than the...
These are some notes I wrote on the 10x60 Oberwerk Mariner. This is a large binocular and heavy. The Mariner weighs 3#2oz, the same as the Obie 15x70. It is...
Ed, Thanks very much for the thorough review of the 10x60 Mariner and the 10x50 Genesis binoculars. It was intresting and really helpful. While the Mariner...
I have a pair of binoculars that I'm interested in selling and I thought this might be a good place to find a buyer. Does everyone already have binoculars or...
