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 -

$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.
