Bushnell Medalist Laser Rangefinder

Childrens Toy Shop > Photo > Binoculars- Telescopes and Optics
from: Bushnell

February 06, 2008
I have used the Medalist for five rounds now, and I'm very happy with the results. On the first outing I was having the same difficulty with stability that others have reported. I found it a bit inconvienient to have to rely on bracing against the cart, especially since there were cart-path-only restrictions in place. Being an advanced amature photographer, I've often used a mono-pod to support my cameras. I gave it a try with my Medalist and it proved to be the ideal solution. The pod with Medalist attached, slips easily into a club slot in my bag, but I need to be careful about slinging the bag around, or letting it drop. I attached the case, using a lanyard, to the mono-pod, and slip the case off and on the Medalist, just as I would ... Read More:

Celestron 93230 8 to 24mm 1.25 Zoom Eyepiece

Childrens Toy Shop > Photo > Binoculars- Telescopes and Optics
from: Celestron


I am really glad that I bought this eyepiece. The bottom is threaded to handle 1.25 filters. (There was another that takes .965") The lens is large with smooth movements. I have a manual focus and it is often difficult to fine tune. I am able to use the zoom on this lens to some extent to focus. The lens covers and plastic case are nice to have.

I am no professional so I am not using a $10,000 telescope. I don't need a $500 lens. I have the full Mead 4000 eyepiece set and find myself only using a 40mm or 32 mm, the zoom lens, and a 2X balrow. Get a Barlow with this eyepiece if you don't have one. The barlow makes the zoom more like 8 lenses than 4, and is nice to take the telescope beyond its limits then back quickly.

Bushnell PowerView 10x50 Wide Angle Binocular

Childrens Toy Shop > Photo > Binoculars- Telescopes and Optics
from: Bushnell


The actual dimnetions of this product are 7" long and 7" wide ( at the end of the product- the part that we hold to our eyes is not quite as wide and fit to the eyes.

These are VERY strong binoculars, they are 16x the magnification, the 50 ( the other #) is simply the size of the front lens.. its 50 mm in diameter ( wide)... they are very strong and you can see things very far away. If you need a pair for a concert or a football game or something, then I believe these would be way to powerful and large. ( also I read somewhere, and I think its true that anything over 10x the magnification ( these are 16x) that you should use a tripod, since its too hard to see properly, since it needs to be compltely still.

Celestron Green Laser Optical Kit

Childrens Toy Shop > Photo > Binoculars- Telescopes and Optics
from: Celestron


If you look at this product on other vendor sites geared towards astronomy you will find this EXACT kit going for close to a hundred dollars. I was originally looking for just the binoculars that come with this set and was ready to pay just about the same cost. I am glad I checked amazon before I ordered.

The laser works good. The flashlight is amazingly bright (by the way, Celestron's website plainly states that batteries aren't included so I don't understand why the other person gave it a bad review for that reason.)

I havent had much chance to check out the binoc's yet but from what I did see earlier they are great.

If you are just getting started in astronomy this is a great deal.

Galileo 1200x Power Microscope

This was a very good price for a microscope, but a high price for what you get. Poor, flimsy construction and a warped lens!

Barska Blueline 25x30 Spy Scope

Childrens Toy Shop > Photo > Binoculars- Telescopes and Optics
from: Barska


This is an exellent buy if this is your first brass spyglass. For being so sheap this sure is good quality, every part of it is verry accurate. I really do have seen a lot worse. People who do not CARE to examine and learn for themselves OR are not used to handle and use spyglasses may have some problem getting the focus right. In any case the focus is really sharp when you do get it right.

You need to twist the smallest tube to change the focus depth. Pracise make perfect!

Even thou its not verry big in size i found that it was as "big" and heavy as i would tolerate for easy carrying and easy use in a larp. You may carry it in a small beltbag, and it fits nicely in your palm.

The only bad thing about it was the fake-leather. ... Read More:

Pedco UltraClamp - Clamping System with Camera Mount

Childrens Toy Shop > Photo > Binoculars- Telescopes and Optics
from: Pedco


I used this clamp to suspend a microphone from the crossbars of a jeep. Its unique joints allow you to swivel 360 degrees in all three dimensions! What's more, the head of the screw is flat ended, intended for tables, but the curve on the top edge works really nicely for my purposes.

Because the mic stays mounted on a moving (bouncing) vehicle, one of the joints tended to keep getting loose. Not a problem if you're stationary. My previous one mysteriously locked up though - maybe the threads of the screw oxidized. After much searching (I couldn't remember the make or model) I'm thrilled I finally found it again - there's nothing else configured like it. Just remember to clean it once in a while!
