How to choose between straight and angled eyepiece positions
Start out by thinking about how you are going to use your spotting scope and take hold of any opportunity to compare straight and angled scopes side by side. Though you will get used to handling whatever style you choose, consider the advantages of each eyepiece position.
Straight eyepieces
The straight eyepiece position works well when viewing downward from an elevated platform, such as a deck or patio. The more natural line of sight of the straight eyepiece is favored by many novice users trying to follow wildlife on the move.
Angled eyepieces
The angled eyepiece position is a favorite among folks who spend much of their time watching birds high in the treetops, scanning higher elevations for wildlife, or gazing up at the moon. In other words, the angled eyepiece is ideal for people who often view upward from a lower vantage point. And, if you tend to share your scope with others, you'll find the angled eyepiece position readily accommodates users of many different height with less adjusting of the tripod.
Accessories for the Sandpiper 15-45x65 spotting scope
The Stokes 65mm Sandpiper spotting scope comes with a view-through carry case, a 15-45x zoom eyepiece and a handy built-in viewing aide. The tripod mounting collar on the Sandpiper lets you rotate the scope body to virtually any angle you prefer especially useful for viewing with car window mounts. The Sandpiper is easily adapted for digiscoping with the Radian Large Universal Digital Camera Adapter bracket (sold separately).
