How does this compare to the Opteka TS-1 TacShot which looks nearly identical? A case of rebranding a product for several companies?

They have close similarities but I anm not familiar with this brand name. Sunpak has been around for years and this pistol grip holds my 20X80 astro binos like a rock! Good luck

I am not exactly sure of the TacShot. The first pistol grip I bought had a broken latch which the seller sent another one within a few days. I've been very happy with the product.

It's exactly the same product. The person who has developed it is a personal friend of mine. The name change was a requirement due to the name being similar to that of another product.

From the picture it looks identical to the BU-20 I got from Canon's eStore this month. To be fair, Canon doesn't seem to offer much info on this product either. I'll probably post a review once I've used it some more.

The noise reduction with these is better than the tactical sport version. I have compared them side by side as a friend has the TS model. I regularly shoot at an indoor pistol range and the Pro model works very well. My friend "doubles up" using foam ear plugs in addition to the TS model shooting indoors. I think the extra cost is worth the additional protection.

Seems to be the same machine. They're using the same photo. Just sold by a different seller on amazon. I still love ours. Hope they make one for really big bugs one day. We've had ours for over 5 years at least now.

I agree with Brent's answer if I recall correctly on the function, tough I have resold this light in favor of replacing it with another light. The InForce was a great little tac-light. My only concern was one of cosmetics, as it is listed when I bought it as FDE but was not the same as a standard Magpul(like) Flat Dark Earth in color. It was quite a bit lighter in color (more like a light tan) and did not exactly match the custom FDE AR-15 I was building. I believe they list it as tan now. I seem to remember the function as: 1 tap constant, 2 taps strobe, 1 long tap gets you momentary... I really did like the little size of it, shape & mounting. Very cool!

It comes in either model. They are the same price. The one pictured here is straight. You can also order the kit that is pictured (which I did, and I like it with the case) or else you can just buy the scope and tripod alone, which is cheaper. The scope is quite good optically, but you might want to take a look at one of them in a store before you buy it online. It has a VERY light weight plastic frame. I am not sure how rugged it is. Seems like Leupold would use aircraft aluminum or something else much sturdier. Other than that, I have no regrets so far.

They are the same product, right down to the sizes of dies it takes. The main difference between a Big Shot and a Big Kick is the colors and the handle. Look at the black/pink Big Shot and the new turquoise Big Shot. See how the handle is attached? Then look at either the blue or brown Big Kick. Its handle folds away with a hinge. Also, the plastic mold each is cast from are slightly different in shape and looks. Sizzix originally marketed the Big Kick for big box craft stores like Michael's, Hobby Lobby, Joann's, etc., and the Big Shot for smaller, independent retailers. You might have noticed that internet sales have shot that idea to smithereens, LOL. If color/shape is extremely important to you, get the one you think is the most aesthetically appealing. If you could not care less about that and price is the only consideration, get the cheapest one you can find. Sizzix has excellent customer service and stands behind all versions of their die cutting machines. I went with the Big Shot myself because I thought the hinged handle of the Big Kick would be more likely to break sooner or later on account of the natural stress points at the hinges. I also got it at an excellent price. Right now since the introduction of the turquoise Big Shot, I am seeing some really great prices on the black/pink Big Shot and the Big Kicks in brick & mortar stores where I live because they are putting those older models on clearance. My housemate just got the brown Big Kick at a local store for $51 at a huge sale. It works just as well as my Big Shot. I really need to write up a product review... I guess I didn't realize how strongly I felt about this being such a good product, LOL.

I could never tell the difference from product descriptions and even an online chat session with a CS rep. I ended up buying the 895 since it was a but less expensive than the 870 and it has a charging station and travel case that the 870 doesn't have. I have been happy with it so far.

Differences are Tactical has 30mm tube vs. 1 in tube, Resettable Zero, Mill Dot reticle. Worth the price difference if you use features, But weighs 6 oz. more, Both fine scopes for the money. I have standard and wish I bought tactical but still satisfied.

I don't know the dimensions of the screw on the opteka TS-1, but I use it with my Canon T2i and multi power MK-550DL when I want no shake or with monopod or even tripod. I believe that the hole could be the same, but it's bigger for the hole of IPhone.

the two bodies are very very similar. they are functionally the same size, but it's a risk, as I'm not 100% sure the buttons and dials are all in the same spot. I'm trying to remember (it's been a while) but I think the jump from T1i to T2i is basically a better screen, but the same size, and a slightly faster FPS. If your willing to spend this much on a dive housing, it might make more sense to sell the t1i, and buy a t2i, to be 100% sure it works well.

I believe that the tasco scope would not even be close... The qta option in this scope is awesome..easy to sight in as well. Very good scope

I am not 100% sure since I do not own both systems, but when I was looking I bought the military one for the price just in case it fell apart on me right away. I also noticed, I think, the width of the strap and the trap color. Other than that I do not really believe there are too many differences. I enjoy mine and use it three times a week and it still looks like I took it out of the box.

I'm almost certain that it is the same item, the only difference is this one is the "multicam" pattern.

I would say CC has a little better craftsmanship especially the attachment mechanism. However the opteka has great value for money

Hello!.... Technically, none. There's no difference between those two kits. Except for the color of the strobes.Regards.
