This Opticron Explorer binocular is an inexpensive pocket binocular that is oh so easy to have with you all the time. Take it when you kayak, hike, or bike. It weighs practically nothing and takes up almost no space. But when you want it, you've got it! Also nice for kids, because the barrels come close together for even very small faces. Two cautions are that it does not have long enough eye relief to work well with glasses, and while it can withstand rain, it should not be submerged in water. NO SALES TAX except for Iowa addresses.

$474.99This is Diane's very favorite of the Terra binoculars. It's super powerful, bright, and clear. It weighs about one pound, and it's compact. But a person needs a steady hand. If the hand is not steady, then it would be better to get an 8-power model. With its compact, lightweight design comfortable ergonomics, the 10x32 is an ideal binocular for birders who demand quality optics. It has a wide field of view (336 feet at 1000 yards), and the 16.5 mm. eye relief works well for most glasses wearers.

The MAC-14 Quick Release Clamp from Sunwayfoto is a CNC machined aluminum clamp that is compatible with both Arca-type plates, and Manfrotto 200PL plates. A built-in bull's-eye bubble level helps to level your camera to the horizon, and a locking knob opens and closes the clamp to adjust or remove the plate. A numbered scale on the clamp allows for precision positioning of Arca-type plates. Two safety stop grooves allow the use of plates with safety screws, to prevent the plates from accidentally sliding out of the clamp. It has a 3/8"-16 threaded hole to mount the clamp onto a tripod or ball head, and also comes with a 1/4"-20 bushing adapter. Learn More
