This was taken with a cellphone using an external lapel microphone. Let me know if this legible enough.

Here is a quick look at the Field Optics Research Tripod I have been using for the last few months. I have a lot of tripods, but this one is easily my favourite. I use it for both shooting support and photography.
In this video, we go over the PRO32 tripod, F-Picatinny clamp that works for both Arca-Swiss and picatinny rails and the Gunpod gun vise for guns that do not have a standardized interface.
The tripod weighs 4.6 lbs with 75mm bowl top and 115lbs weight capacity (I misspoke in the video).
F-Picatinny clamp discussion starts at 1:10:

Once I get home from SHOT, I sit in front of the camera for a bit and try to recall all of my impressions from the SHOT. It is faster than writing it all down, which I will do later to a certain degree. The written part and the pictures will be on my website: www.opticsthoughts.com

ON the night before SHOT, normal people head over to get a drink and enjoy themselves. I talk about optics.

I am re-visiting the Leica PRS 5-30x56 scope, but this time with the L-Ballistic reticle that is more to my liking. Optically and mechanically, this is a nice scope. I need to do a little more shooting with it before it goes back, but so far so good.
In this video, we mostly look through the scope at the reticle features.
Here is a link to the exact model in this video:

And here is a link to the one with the PRB reticle that I mention early in the video:

I am back home after a "bucket list" Aoudad hunt, so naturally that is what I want to talk about in this livecast. I'll talk a little bit about the environment, gear I used, and lessons learned.
