    Hand sanitizers and optics

    Does anyone have any thoughts on how all the different sanitizers we are using effect the armor and coatings of our bins and scopes. I know that insect repellents with deet can harm optics but not sure about all the stuff we are using now.

    Iphone & Phoneskope stuff - what am I missing?

    I use the Phoneskope brand with my iPhone XR and my ATX 95 and 65 and have had no issues. It took a short time to fiddle with it to figure it out. Now I just attache the phone to the scope, pinch open the view and take picture. For me its exactly what I want and need.

    Swarovski Scope ATX vs STX - which do u use it for

    I had the STX and found it harder to get the height placement correct. I am an eyeglass wearer so maybe that had something to do with that problem. Also, it was hard to share with my wife who is shorter. I sold the STX and got an ATX and it fits my needs better. I can get the right eye placement...

    ATX 95 Tripod and Head

    I use a Manfrotto 055 carbon fiber tripod and a Manfrotto MHXPRO-2W head. Works very well for me. I had used a Manfrotto 128RC head but the MHXPRO was a half pound lighter. That weight counts with the large 95. I love it. It is really great in the winter looking at the ocean and across the...
