This edition of DLO Live! is really going to be centered around a general Q&A, but there are several specific topics I would like to cover as well, as time allows.
-It turns out that one of the companies very well known in the photography world, SunwayFoto, decided to jump into the shooting support market. I have a tripod and a few other products from them that I just started looking at. I'll offer some initial impressions.
-Why do some scopes weigh a lot and others do not? There is no single simple answer to that, but there are quite a few design aspects that matter. This one might get nerdy. If you want a case study on how to make a high quality light weight FFP scope, Vortex Razor HD-LHT 4.5-22x50 is a good example: https://bit.ly/3KEbZyA
-Picatinny 1913 vs STANAG rail clamps. They look the same, but they are not. STANAG is a better standard and here is the "why" of it.
Mounts I comfortably recommend:
Badger rings and mounts, for example https://bit.ly/3EX6L0F https://bit.ly/3ShDHny
Seekins Precision rings https://bit.ly/3CQki7r and mount https://bit.ly/3MNVnGb
Element Optics Accu-lite https://bit.ly/3EYhU1s
Vortex Pro rings https://bit.ly/3gp5Ag6
This is by no means exhaustive, just a couple of examples.
