[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 2010652, member: 113623"] I just wanted to follow up with you guys as I promised I would. Ended up getting out on the trail and realizing that my whole system had become bloated and I was carrying more weight than I was comfortable with. Rifle with a chassis had gotten a lot heavier than I anticipated, binos on my chest were heavy, extra water weight, digital camera, etc made the hike in fairly grueling. The next day I set up for glassing, and as it always seems to be when you are looking for them, I found all the faults in the MeoPros. Also found myself wanting a little extra magnification and benefiting from resting them on my tripod. Ultimately decided I wanted better magnification and optical performance in a more compact and lightweight package that would be good both hand held or supported. Opted for a Swarovski SLC 10x42, and just placed the order this morning after a few weeks of research. I will purchase a tripod and mount for them at some point, but want to spread out the expense. I know I ended up going a completely different direction than when I started this thread, but I want to echo my previous thanks for all your time, expertise, and guidance. Thank you, I really appreciate your responses and suggestions. [/QUOTE]
