  1. Ahh so im not only 1 does that lol🤣 Ande enjoy your bins mate
  2. i dont think you would have been disappointed if you had mate just enjoy the bins you get 🍻
  3. Funnily enough i had the choice to buy 10x50 or 12x50 Nikon action ex bins and i got the 12x50 Later on i got the 10x50 Opticron I Magic 10x50 but my grab n go bins whether handheld or on tripod/monopod are my 12x50's they are heavier than the 10x50 but i just feel they are better all round bins 🍻
  4. Sounds like a sketch from Black Adder lol🤣
  5. Cheers again mate and Happy New Year to you and familly 🍻
  6. Hi I have the Nikon 12x50EX's and havn't noticed reflections and my Nikons are my most used grab n go bins I also have the Amazon basics tripod with trigger grip and its good bit kit but it does struggle with my Apollo 22x85 bins they are just a bit to heavy for it Good review and i kind of thought the Nikons would win out superb bins for the money 🍻
  7. my 22x85 have the screw threads as well where did you buy them ? maybe an email to them possible they changed the spec but not updated the sales blurb
  8. the Nikon actions are excellent binoculars and the 10x50 were the best in 6 of the best review that Steve did i use the 12x50 and are my go to bins for quick grab n go 🍻
  9. Flo has the 10x50 https://www.firstlightoptics.com/opticron-binoculars/opticron-adventurer-10x50-t-wp-binocular.html
  10. whatever you go for get the pro versions yeh more expensive but better bins
  11. If your going for the Celestron 20x80 bins i would go for the pro version bit more money but a lot better set of bins I had the standard 20x80 a few years ago and did find them ok but not that good I have the Celestron 15x70 Pro version and find them to be better bins 🍻
  12. These are really good but as stated above a sturdy tripod or parallelogram would be needed 🍻 i have the 22x85 model https://www.firstlightoptics.com/helios-binoculars/helios-apollo-high-resolution-85mm-binoculars.html
  13. What about the Opticron 8x42 bit smaller and lighter than your 10x50 these are waterproof https://www.firstlightoptics.com/opticron-binoculars/opticron-adventurer-42mm-t-wp-binocular.html or a bit cheaper but not waterproof https://www.firstlightoptics.com/opticron-binoculars/opticron-adventurer-porro-8x40-binoculars.html
  14. i think the Apollo's are about the only 1's with threads for filters i could be wrong tho Lunt and Oberwerk may have threads but they are similar or higher price range than the Apollo 🍻
  15. i think its just the Apollo's that have the filter threads
  16. Another vote for the Opticrons https://www.firstlightoptics.com/opticron-binoculars/opticron-adventurer-10x50-t-wp-binocular.html or you could have a look at these but not waterproof as far as i can see but they do have threads of for 1.25" filters https://www.firstlightoptics.com/helios-binoculars/helios-naturesport-plus-50mm-binoculars.html
  17. i believe the 11x70 are stopped down to 63mm as well the skymaster pro tho are a lot better and not stopped down
