Was visiting Omer on Saturday. I was with someone that bought elsewhere a 60x zoom minox spotter with 80 mm obj, and we had Omer mount on a tripod we were buying. Could not read the numbers on a power pole up the hill looking west. Omer pulled out a 50x zoom swaro, not even the high end model, with smaller obj lens and we were able to read the #'s clearly.
I wished I had my kowa there to compare, and we didn't want to take up more of his time to run around and get all the spotters. We did also look at bino's, and bs'd about rifle for close to 3 hours.
Get the best glass you can put money into, as it will be worth it. We both ended up with the revic tripods, and I can't wait to start shooting off mine at the range. He has sold out of them now, but more on the way.
I use a "phone cam" adapter that was made by "Tines UP", before they now decided to branch out on their own.
