I should have mentioned I've got a set of binoc 10X50 and 15X70 and a smaller one as well.
Those larger binocs a tad to big for the boy and his hands/fingers. Hence the spotting scope idea.
I understand the tripod that come with them is only a table type, which I can upgrade later on.
I agree that $100-$200 is only the entry level for these and bear in mind its for an 8yr old. Leica or Fujinons are not in my league at the moment. I need to 'wet' his apetite 1st.
Keep the ideas coming - much appreciated.
PS: I've got a parellogram mount, however the premise was something quick, portable, plonk down, view, move from place to place.
