With the election getting in the way, I am posting this later than I originally planned. I am wrapping up with the test of a pre-production March 1-10x24, looking at a couple of different offset iron sights, and spending some quality time with Kel-tec's CP33. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_IecCYgEeU

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:

A little more about the tripod itself starting at 2:50:

This video is not about optics.
Having grown up during the collapse of the Soviet Union, I have strong vested interest in never having to live through the collapse of this country. I am more than a little concerned about the proliferation of Marxist thuggery: Antifa and BLM specifically with Democrat party in general supporting them.
I promise to get back to guns and optics momentarily.

In order to properly welcome 2021, let's do another thought exercise. Usually, this is when I do my "If I could Only Have One" update, but let's change it up for a bit this year and bump it up to three.
Here are the updated recommendations:

I stumbled onto Field Optics Research purely by accident and walked away absolutely impressed by their tripods.

In this livestream, I am looking to go over how thermal imaging works, why it is fundamentally different from what we normally see with our eyes or even from what we see through night vision devices.
I'll touch on a few thermal scopes I have been looking at lately and wrap up with the usual Q&A.
In many ways I am testing the waters here because I do not know how technical you really want me to get. If there is interest, I can make it as nerdy as you want.

This is going to be a special edition version of DLO Live!
Eugene is joining me to talk about the events that transpired in Israel over the last few days. We will do our best to cover what has been happening and why.
I will not take any gun or optics questions unless there is time later in the show.
