Simple question I hope, but I feel like I’m going to get about 50/50 split on what’s recommended.
want to sit and glass across a lake (1km), from tripod. Rolling hills, not steep mountains.

I have a straight one but wish it were curved. I spent to much time behind a spotter and find it hard on my neck
I've had a vortex razor in both. Maybe it's just me, but I had a hard time finding whatever it was I saw with my binos that required a closer look using an angled spotter.
Edit: I think most people glass with binos and then look at things they see with their spotter.

When in doubt, just pin it.
Angled spotter. So much easier on the neck!!
Your asking in the wrong place. This is the tinfoil hat capital of the internet
Check with yota hes the spotter master.. i just glass with swaro binos them stalk in and shoot lol
Angled here too, Takes some practice at first but more ergonomic in the end
Take a kid hunting its more rewarding than shooting an animal yourself!!
I’ve had both. I think I prefer the angled for what I do. Straight packs better in the backpack, though.

The only possible advantage I can see to a straight over an angled is it more streamlined for easier packability. Certainly would not give up my angled for a straight.
Only shoot small bulls near the road
I have angled, have used straight.
I prefer angled
Have both and prefer the angled for glassing. My straight is very compact and light so has its place.
