    Swarovski binoculars ATC/STC anti-rotation

    Glad to hear you got it sorted, excellent customer service. They sent me the plate free of charge and offered to fit the new base plate with the two holes free of charge also. However, turn around time us 6 to 8 weeks but could be a little longer being Christmas. I'm tempted not to bother...

    Advice needed!

    Very nice picture, can I ask was this taken through the el's or a camera?. I have the 8x32 and am considering a scope upgrade for phonescoping.

    Review of the new spotting scope KOWA TSN-55A PROMINAR

    Swarovski ATC does have a stay on case available, similar price to the Kowa. Swarovski have also updated the tripod plate on the ATC and have a new arca mount available. I find the barrel focus adjustment and magnification adjustment very easy to use on the ATC. Never owned a Kowa so I...

    Traded my NL 10x42 for a NL 10x32

    I believe Zeiss offer a similar, try before you buy service. All be it at a charge though. When I changed my Opticron 10×42 to a Swarovski EL 8x32 the weight difference was a massive relief. You certainly notice the difference on a 2 hour hike.

    Swarovski prices going up 7%?

    Swarovski greed will shoot themselves in the foot. Just look at the companion Nomad, an extra grand for a wooden box and bit of bling. Zeiss is looking more and more appealing.

    Curio Whoopsie!

    Personally I don't like the design. I prefer the CL over the Curio.

    Swarovski ATC: which lightweight tripod?

    I was having a lot of trouble with the scope loosening on the tripod so I fashioned this. The U bracket at the front prevents the scope from loosening as it can't rotate on the base plate. The small screw at the back can be nipped up if required to touch the bottom of the base plate thus...

    Traded my NL 10x42 for a NL 10x32

    I found the 10x42 the best in use including eye placement & comfort. The 10 &8x32 I found just as bright but the 42 was just better for eye placement

    An interesting comparison.

    This is why the Swarovski ATC is a game changer. I don't know I'm carrying it sometimes just like my EL's. I agree not as immersive as binoculars but an excellent companion to supplement the binoculars to make an hike a lot more enjoyable.

    Problem with green coating of EL SV 8x32

    OMG, whoever decided to change the armouring to be more biodegradable needs sacking. Swarovski will lose some brand loyalty customers over the armouring issue.

    Veiling glare: a bird club's unanimous verdict on my 8x32 EL FP

    I have the 8x32 el and have never experienced any glare but I have winged eyecups on them if that makes any difference who knows. Best binoculars I have ever had.

    Swarovski eye candy...

    Peak design carbon travel tripod, very lightweight and staple. Packs away to the size of a water bottle. I highly recommend. https://m.dpreview.com/articles/1994841706/hands-on-with-the-new-peak-design-travel-tripod

    Swarovski EL vs Zeiss Victory SF

    Not so sure, thinking I need that bit more magnification. I used an opticron 10x42 previously and much prefer the bigger image. I'm also a little concerned about the armour issue. I think I might have to give the Zeiss SF10x32 another look.
