Strathspey Giant 100mm 45 degree binoculars

[Mark-V]

I am looking at possibly getting a pair  of these - has anyone else tried them , or are there any other similar ones I should be looking at at around this price range or v slightly more  (including tripod) ?

I had a pair of these, optically very good but very heavy and not great above about 60 degrees with the supplied wooden tripod.

If you look on Big Binoculars you'll see some heavy duty crankable tripods which are more practical or a heavy duty p-mount.

APM do a similar model but lighter.

A 90 degree is an option but due to the prism housing most are aperture stopped down to between 80-90 for a 100 degree objective.

The views through the Strathspeys are great, colourful and bright.
