[Neoprene] The binocular like setup makes it very comfortable In use. I paired it with the ATX 95mm objective and the image is bright even though the light is split into two paths. The image quality is as expected for a top shelf spotting scope. There is not much else I can add to ota optical performance. I will just mention a few things about it when in use.

I compared with the Leica scope in B & H and what made the sale was the focusing ring, it is so smooth and easy to grab and adjust when compared with the tiny and tight shell on the Leica Televid.

The focus aid works fine to help with aiming the acope but it seems cheap being entirely made of plastic, and the forehead rest, for me, is useless.

The BTX and 95mm ATX combination is a large scope and on the tripod, it is not very balanced when mounted on the balance rail.
It feels awful on a ballhead as it "wants" to drop off in all different sides all the time if I don't hold on to it tight while moving it around. So trying to following a moving object does not work with a ball head. It works fine on a video pan and tilt head but I think a gimball head may be better.

I am still looking for a set of tripod legs for this setup. I used a big manfrotto and a medium sized Gitzo but both have annoying vibrations. I am planning to test it on a set of wooden telescope legs.

A minor complaint: the covers for the oculars are on a leash, which is great, but that for the objective is not and I struggle to find a place to store that large front cover when in use.

[Neoprene] I had the 95mm lens for 3 years and upgraded as soon as this 115mm lens was available. Early morning and late evening light capture is phenomenal! Well worth the dollars to upgrade.

[Neoprene] While the images from the 115 are just ridiculously good, this objective lens is very substantial in size. I ordered the Gitzo GT5355LS on a Swarovski tripod head from B&H for the stability. The through-the-lens pictures as part of this review are me hand-holding a smart-phone, so the blur is from hand-shake. The eagle is 200 yards at 70X. The shoreline is 2,800 yards at 30X. If image means everything and you're not intimidated by the size, this is state-of-the-art and arguably the best image money can buy for a spotting scope.

[Neoprene] This is an amazing scope. However, I own both the 115 and the 95 and I like the 95 better. The view through the 95 seems sharper to me. Plus, the 115 feels twice as heavy. Both have very nice focus feel but the objective shades on both are unnecessarily hard to extend. I also really like that both have ArcaSwiss feet. BTW - Barry from an earlier review needs a better tripod head. My Benro WH15 wildlife head handles the 115 easily.

[Neoprene] This spotting scope is remarkable. It's worth every penny I spent for it.

[Neoprene] The eyepiece module is like having an upscale set of binoculars with a Swarovski objective. Performance wise the package is superb. Interpupil distance is easily adjusted and there is a useful headrest. Focus does require moving your hand to the objective focus ring. Otherwise it is nearly like binoculars. There is no zoom and magnification is set at 30x. The aiming assist, a small scope to the right of the right eyepiece is outstanding at perfectly aiming the scope. The aiming assist is not protected by the SOC, but it is removable with a bit of fussing with a screwdriver. The total package with a 95mm objective is not much heavier than with the ATX eyepiece, but the BTX is significantly larger in width. In summary, a great spotting scope. My personal desired improvements would be a very slightly closer interpupil distance for use by children, and a better way of removing or protecting the aiming aid. But it still gets 5 stars.

[Neoprene] Great glass. It truly excels in all areas but especially in low light. Big and heavy so might not be ideal for packing in somewhere. I got the angled eyepiece and a heavy tripod for it. It's great.

[Neoprene] very heavy but worth every gram

[Neoprene] Spectacular optics that really enhances my ability to spend time glassing with greater ease. It’s not heavy but I wouldn’t backpack it on long treks unless I was going to set up for a while. The benefits of using both eyes and not having to squint and look with just one eye is very real and definitely help the user to be much more relaxed. This is one element of my spotting scope system and I’m very happy I’ve added it. After spending some quality time behind it, I would definitely buy it again and strongly recommend it.

[Neoprene] Very comfortable for long viewing sessions. Once you get your eyes adjusted from your previous scopes holds. Very confident in holding for mirage based wind holds. Using both eyes is a dream!
