Best Marine Head Unit 2024

Best lens for the Solar Ellipse this past April 8, 2024.

Unit received 07/01/2024, installed 07/05/2024. Working properly. So far computer and communications equipment has 100% up time. I have installed/used APC products in the past for employers and this was the reason I chose APC for home. Easy setup and it is working well. Instructions are easy to follow. Would recommend expanded instructions if using this unit to manage power spikes for Ethernet cable into/out of UPS unit as it relates to the ground terminal screw. I called APC technical and finally got an explanation what this ground screw is used for, but not much explanation how to connect it to house ground. At this time, I am not using this feature.

Best head I've gotten.

We were looking for a new travel size binoculars as we cruise Transatlantic & Transpacific. Our marine binoculars from West Marine were great while boating but are heavy and take up took much carry on space. The guy behind the counter was fantastic, not pushy or rushing us to make a decision. He showed us various magnifications/sizes and describing the differences with each one. We chose the Vortex 8x42 Viper HD because they ticked most all of the boxes we were looking for at the price that didn't break the bank. We love the size and weight, the focus wheel is slow & precise. They are exactly what we were looking for. Love B&H - always professional and wonderful to deal wit.

Working on a major marine Oil & Gas project, the Fujinon Marine Binocular is perfect for the application and conditions. They are being used by a specialty environmental group to spot turtles and other marine species which may come into contact with work being performed on this project. Perfect application for a perfect product.

I purchased this unit a January 2024 and was money well spent. No mor Google map confusion and wrong way direction. I only wish I had purchased the larger screen. This is still great unit.

nice unit, will use it for second camera mount on my telescope drive for the eclipse in April 2024

An FYI, I just today (8/29/2024) took delivery of a new unit from B&H. Box reflects production in April, 2024. The included case is a much nicer black canvas-like material with the latch-opening top, similar to but obviously larger than what’s included with the 10x25 BCA Trinovid. A positive upgrade over the brown-ish/tan neoprene zip case shown in so many reviews of this model. Just a gorgeous binocular itself too, I’ll add.

Great binocular for marine use

I used this tripod for the 4/8/2024 eclipse, shooting in Texas. It was fast to set up, much quicker than the 20 year old Gitzo G1325 mk II it replaced. (Non-twisting legs are a big help for tightening or loosening leg locks.) It was plenty robust enough for the 14+ pound weight of an EOS R7 with adapted EF 500/4L IS (1st version) on either a Benro Polaris Astro tracking head or a Zenelli gimbal head.
