How do I choose a spotting scope for birding?
In deciding how to choose a spotting scope, you should consider magnification, objective lens and exit pupil size, eyepieces, FOV, optical and body design, eye relief, focus mechanism, close focus distance, glass/prism quality, and weatherproofness.
Is angled or straight spotting scope better?
Angled scopes have the advantage of using a lower tripod height for better stability as well as, in my opinion, being a much better setup for digiscoping. If you are planning on glassing for long periods of time the angled scope is also a more comfortable option.
