Leica Ruckseat (1 Viewer)

[Mike Johnston]

I was recently given an unwanted Leica Ruckseat, the promotional gift Leica were recently giving away with purchases of Televids and full-size Ultravids. I was expecting the usual flimsy promotional stuff that soon falls apart but I must say I'm pleasantly surprised. It really is a solid, quality, well-made piece of kit. Strong canvas that appears waterproof, very roomy, plenty of pockets, the built-in stool will be perfect for use with a scope and can be removed if not needed, and it looks great too in black with an embroidered red dot logo. I'm very pleased with it. Leica should market it as a product in its own right. Anyone else on the forum got one, and if so, what do you think? I've only just got it so haven't had time to field test it. Perhaps others who've had one longer have discovered defects.

Just noticed that London Camera Exchange are now selling these for £69.99 (http://www.lcegroup.co.uk/newitem_details.php?new_equipment_id=697). So if you fancy one without having to fork out for an Ultravid or Televid now's you chance. I'd advise being quick though. These were a promotional item so I'm sure LCE don't have too many. A good buy.

Your right a really good piece of kit. And if you go to http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....60001164301&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWA:IT&rd=1
You and own one usually go for about £25 plus the p&p
You will be amazed at teh quality

I had a cheaper version given to me, it was very good quallity but the straps were too short so i couldnt get both arms in at the same time, ok for a 32" chest!!!!

Now i have gone back to my old seat, a log-rock-or anything else to hand, who needs all this extra stuff to carry anyway.
