CouesWhitetail Report post Posted February 15, 2007 Jim White has come out with a simple, high-quality optic that will triple the magnification on your binos. This unit simply clamps to the eyepeice of whatever binos you have. It's designed to be a universal tripler, meaning it will work on just about any binoculars out there. I tested it out on my 15x and 10x binos and it worked great. Transmits light a lot better than the swarovski doubler, in my opinion. You can read more about it in the CW.com store: http://www.coueswhitetail.com/bookstore/tripods_adaptor.htm Check it out! Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DesertBull Report post Posted February 15, 2007 Is there any way we can look through one before buying? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted February 15, 2007 Well, as with everything I sell, you can try it out and if you don't like it, you can return it for a refund (excluding shipping cost and assuming the item is still in new condition). If you live in Williams area you can see one at Jim's house. I don't know if Outdoorsmans is carrying them yet or not, but you might be able to see one there. I think it's a really neat unit. To me, it doesn't replace a good spotting scope, but for certain situations, like perhaps a backpack hunt it's a really nice alternative. Or some people that don't even carrying a spotting scope might really enjoy having this to increase their ability to get detail on a buck. It gives you some extra power but barely any extra weight.

DesertBull Report post Posted February 15, 2007 Do you know if it is water proof? I am pretty sure I am doing a backpack hunt in Alaska this fall. This would be good thing to have, but only if it can handle rain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted February 15, 2007 Jim told me that he asked the manufacturer that question and the manufacturer says they should hold up fine to rain, but maybe not to being submerged in water for a long period of time. Jim suggested that if you keep the tripler in its case unless you are using it, that it should be fine. You can also put that case into a ziplock bag for even more protection. I think it's fair to say the unit is strongly water resistant since all the threads and everything are sealed, but I wouldn't keep it submerged in water.

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted February 16, 2007 Amanda, hows the clarity? can two be used at one time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted February 16, 2007 I was impressed with the clarity of the optics, but if you are thinking of using two at a time to make say a 30x bino out of 10s for glassing, I don't know that I would do it. The eyepeice is a little small I think for glassing for long periods of time. Of course you lose some light transmission with that higher magnification and you get better light through something that is larger like a full size spotting scope or a real 30x binocular.

COUESAZ Report post Posted February 19, 2007 Would it work to put one on each eye peice and use it as a bino trippler and not juust as making your binos a spotting scope. That is what i think the other post was asking when he said could you use more than one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
have2hunt Report post Posted February 20, 2007 I checked out the new tripler today on a pair of Minox 15s at the archery shop here in Flagstaff. I am very impressed with the clarity of the glass. I too am a poor college student and I should be able to fit this in my budget when my tax return comes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatfootdoc Report post Posted February 20, 2007 Casey, just sell your rifles, the way you shoot you would do better with a semi automatic sks and a banana clip so you could have some major ammo spray. Then you can afford the tripler to check out the size of the spikes on your next deer!! ag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azcouesandelk Report post Posted February 20, 2007 I am a poor college student also but have my priorties straight. 1. Hunting 2. Camping 3. Girls 4. Camping It is very simple. Save up by putting away 1/2 your paycheck each time and within a year you should have a high quality spotter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
