I have heard that 8x is easier to hold steady than 10x, but the 8x25 is only 4.2in long. Does this not also hinder holding steady?

I don't have an 8x25, so I'm not sure about that, but I have to say, I've had little trouble holding my 10x25 steady. If it was a camera, I might want a tripod, but for viewing, it's fine. I use it mostly for bird watching. I do occasionally brace my arm against a handy tree if I'm looking for details on something quite close, since the field of vision is so small then. I'm really happy with it.

It does move some mostly because I can't securely rest it against my eye.Length is ok for my small hands. Overall not as good as I hoped .

i have a 10x25 and i think they are the same size just lens difference. only need to steady if studying detail, otherwise they are easy to hold steady and view as a larger size.

I agree w/other responders here --- if I can hold/use w/o difficulty, it's not too heavy. ---

It doesn't really matter. I'd go with the 8. I've using these for 13 years. They are the best and this is a really good price.

I have the 14x20 on my 4.3 and also went from the 14x23. The 20 got me on plane faster, way better hole shots and the only downside ( which isn't much of a downside to me) is that I lost 1 mph on my top end. Hope this helps.

Not that I know of. I had an older version which provided a coarser gring, held more and worked faster.

I personally would not go more powerful than 15x ... very hard to keep an object in view hand held at 20x. Even these are pretty 'jumpy' - even a small movement causes your target to be lost. Helps to have a tripod, even at this power.

this has not been a problem for me. Are you zeroing it out? Has this been a problem from the first for you? Mine has always settled in, but there are occassions when it does kind of go back and forth between for example 27g and 28 g if you are really on the edge of a little more than 27g and a little less than 28g. I hope this is helpful. If yours is bouncing all over then perhaps you have a defective one. I hope this is helpful. Good Luck.

Hi Zach...it's pretty solid but then I also use a Sony AS10 with stabilization. Even still, it works well. While the tightning screw has never come loose, I string a plastic zip tie through the end to keep it from turning. I'm not about to lose my camera from a screw set that vibrates loose. Anyway, I like it; it's small and compact and does not wobble like the bigger, taller attachments.

8 lbs does seem to be extreme, holding the grip handle shut at that length and weight would be difficult. I got this for my husband for floor retrieval, so since you asked, I tried it out in the kitchen cupboards with 30 oz mayo, 15 oz fruit & soups and it worked perfectly. I used my free hand as a guide down. There was no flex in the shaft without it. I think this handle grip is very comfortable and doesn't require a large hand to work it successfully/comfortably. I think I need to remember to take it to the store with me next time. Good Luck!

I checked my other mirror which is only 10x. It appears the customer may be correct about 5X magnification. When I compare the the two, my image in the Jerdon is smaller, but still large enough to do some very good tweezing. It could be that the smaller built-in mirror provides 10x magnification, I'm not sure. It's certainly enough for up close needs. Since it swivels, you can have the magnification at the top or the bottom for your own personal comfort. It is a good mirror & built well. I'm glad I purchased it. I tweeze every day & am a perfectionist about how I look. I can't go a single day without tweezing (unfortunately). I checked my other mirror which is only 10x.

Sure, the disadvantage to the 21 ga. Vs the 23 ga. is that you are trying to make your fastening as invisible as you can. And I don't think you can do better than Grex.

Some are the same dimensions. The 12# and 10# balls are both 9.5" in diameter. The 8# and 6# balls are 8.5", and the 4# ball is smaller, at 7.5". I find it convenient to have the consistent dimensions and various weight options for P90X2, for example. One consideration to keep in mind, though, is that the 6# ball has noticeably more "give" than the 8, which might be a factor for you if you are looking for similar performance there. For me it is mildly distracting while doing the four-ball pushups, but not an impediment. I still prefer to have the variety of weights.

My experience has been that coin movement is relative to the size of the coin. Smaller coins( pennies, dimes, nickels, quarters) tend to move less. The paper holders seem to be sized for a specific coin while the flips are universal in coin capacity. Personally, I prefer the flips.

I can't find any reference to the "8mm", but the snaps seem to be universally the same from the various suppliers. The only mention of size is the length of the "post" which would have to do with the thickness of the material through which you are installing the snap. So all I can tell you is that this item works very well on the standard boat canvas snaps.

From what I can find/see there is only one difference and that is the 6930X has 10 bearings vs 6930B has 9. Sometimes when counting bearings they leave out the one in the bail so the "B" could have 10 also. Otherwise everything is the same, line retrieve, spool capacity, etc. I think the "X" just indicates the newer models.

We did not try the 8x42. We are very pleased with the 10x42. They adjust well for my wife and me. Fold? I'm not sure what you mean. They do fit well in the carrying case with the carrying strap. The viewing is very good and clear and the adjustment for distances is simple and effective. Hope this helps!
