    Tripod carry cases

    Thanks Mike. I carry my tripod alongside a lot of other gear - backpack, chair, etc, and unpack the lot when I get there. Looking for something to protect it against the elements en route to where I'm going (and to pack it away to protect it from the elements when I'm there!), so it's really a...

    Tripod carry cases

    Thanks Phil, good question and I probably should have clarified. I will be using it for both! Primarily in the field for survey work, but also to go into a large carrying case when travelling overseas (it just goes in the case 'as is' at the moment). D

I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and if this is...

    Swarovski ATS 80 25-50 W vs 20-60 vs ATX 85

    Thanks everyone for their comments on the thread so far, very much appreciated! Apologies for the tardy response, been working rurally with very little in the way of reliable internet to access much online. I think I've narrowed it down to either the ATX or ATS with 25-50W, just need to find a...

    Hello all, first time posting - apologies if this has been discussed/answered previously, if there is a previous thread anyone can link to, I would very much appreciate a comment with a link to the discussion!
