Create a channel Learn moreDoug hooked me up on mine and a tripod and Trimble head to try out for a killer deal. Love it so far.
hey guys, looking into a spotter. Have heard good things about Minox glass and noticed they have a spotter. Has the MR2S reticle. Any info or opinions would be awesome. Thanks
Not all Minox glass is created equal. Just like most optics manufacturer's they have different grades or lines of products which have different levels of glass quality. Their top quality glass comes with their ZP5 line of scopes which have the influence of the old Optronika group on them, I am not certain about their other lines of optics; however, I have a set of BL 10x44 HD binos that I've been really impressed with for the price.
Hey WJM, not to detail the thread but I'm looking at their new 8x56 HD binos, is that glass similar to the ZP5 glass do you think?

which tripod and head?
Interesting. Have never seen or known a gimble head. Was looking into geared head.The tripod is a vortex made by whoever and the gimble head I’ll have to check when I get home
Geared head is best suitable to spotting with reticles when you want to set the spotter's reticle to an exact location and call a precise quick correction..
The gimbal is used more on long lens to smooth out the movement. This would be key in wildlife photography or bird watching.
2 complete opposite needs.
Darn you. I am crying.Just ordered one with code PSPRING20 for 20% off got it delivered for $157
Thanks ironsight.
Look what I found

Will this head fit on a Manfrooto tripod?
If so it looks like a good choice for both bench and field.
Here is mine on a Manfrotto 055Xpro3.Dude! I was a skeptic at first until I just mounted this baby on the tripod. Using this gear head is like optical mechanical sex. So smooth, and it's built like a brick shit house. Looking forward to getting my new PIG tripod tomorrow. I'll take the spotter out tomorrow night when it's on a heavy duty tripod.
Edit: thank you for the eBay link, these are a steal!
Back on track!Next week I get the Minox MD 80 ZR. Hopefully it's a good product, I can't wait to try it out...
Here is mine on a Manfrotto 055Xpro3.
It is solid but I do not like the way the head is mounted on it. It uses a screw to push up from below to tighten the head. I like the way the Ebay military short tripod is holding the head.
It actually slipped once when I was panning the head right, hence unscrewed the head. I retightened the push screw and it did not happen again.
If it happens again I would swith the tripod. Let me know how is PIG.
P.S. nice Swaro
