Great spotting scope bag
Just what I wanted
I’m extremely satisfied with this case. It fits our angled Zeiss Gavia 85 scope perfectly. I was worried that this case’s shape would be awkward for an angled scope or too small for an 85mm objective lense, but neither turned out to be true. This product feels durable and well-made, and will protect the scope as well as any soft shell case could be expected to. I plan to use this case for transporting my scope into the field, either inside of a bicycle pannier, attached to my backpack, or just slung over my shoulder with the attached carry strap. I do not anticipate attaching the tripod to the case. I tried doing so, but it was much less awkward to just carry the tripod separately in its own included carry bag. That said, the straps on the side of this case will still be useful for lashing it to a backpack or the deck of my kayak. I love the woodland camouflage color pattern, which is perfect for our intended birding and wildlife viewing applications (hunters aren’t the only ones who benefit from blending in). An added bonus that was not mentioned in the product description is a semi-rigid layer of plastic or cardboard like material on the side of the case where a tripod could be lashed, presumably to protect your scope from the tripod when attached. The only improvement I would suggest for this product would be to place that same armoring around the whole case for added protection. That said, this is exactly what I was looking for, at an extraordinary price.
