I've looked through the Swarovski, Zeiss, Kowa and Vortex Razor HD scopes out in Yellowstone watching wolves. The 100mm ED aperture outperforms the 80mm apertures hands down. It is brighter, has higher resolving power, a higher limiting magnification and a decent out of the box eyepiece that can be changed for a premium fixed focal length eyepiece. In fact, for almost all conditions viewing out there the limiting factor was refraction from thermally generated air density differences (so – called heat waves). In the early morning the Celestron Regal M2 100ED more than held it's own when stacked up next to the creme-de-la-creme of spotting scopes. Just as an aside the Swarovski ATS 80HD costs a whopping $2800, the Zeiss is about $3500 and the Vortex Razor HD 85 is $1750. The Celestron at under $1000 outperforms all of these, particularly when coupled with a first rate eyepiece.Clearly a 100mm scope is going to weigh more than an 80mm scope. I can assure you a 5 lb scope needs the same tripod as a 3.5 lb scope. The tripod is the limiting factor unless you have a limitation on size (let's face it this scope will fit in any 4 wheel automobile but it is going to be a hassle on a Harley, but so is the other one… it's the tripod that is the problem).

I compared the M2 Regal 100 ED side by side with a Vortex Razor, Swarovski and Leupold on my private 300 yard range as well as long range spotting (1.5 miles). All I can say it the Celestron Regal M2 100 ED compares very favorably, considering it's retail price (much lower than the others and way below the Swarovski.I was able to discern the printing (small print on a standard sized target at 300 yards (and read it easily) with the Regal (barring the usual thermal abberation). 22 caliber prints on the target at 300 yards were easily seen.The dual focus knobs allow quick focusing and then the fine knob brings the image to fine focus. The scope came with a well made zippered case that you can leave on all the time (has a bottom zippered opening to allow fixing to your tripod.I had read elsewhere that at maximum magnification (65X) there was some vignetting around the edges of the image. I had none. The image was clear at the edges as well as the center.The long range test was at 1.5 miles on a fixed object (farm house). I was able to distinguish clearly (barring thermal abberation again), a hose bib on the side of the house at 1.5 miles, this unit is well suited for game spotting at extreme distance.The eyepiece mount is industry standard 1.5" so any eyepiece from and manufacturer will fit, but the supplied 25-65 eyepiece is excellent at all magnification ranges. It comes with a twist up rubber eyepiece cap that works well and a useless T adapter, if you want to 'phone-skope', get an aftermarket phone mount.The scope comes with a very substantial (aluminum) screw on eyepiece cover, something the others lack (except the Swarovski). On the down side, it's heavy and requires a substantial tripod to stabilize it. The objective lens cover is not tethered so it can be misplaced and the retractable sunshade has a useless coarse object locating feature I totally disregard. The Regal is only offered with an angled eyepiece (I prefer a straight eyepiece) but in defense of the Regal, you can rotate the body of the scope in it's mount, to any viewing angle you prefer, so you can use it on a car window mount with limitations.I also ships with a balance rail (that I do not use). Attachment to a substantial tripod negates the balance rail and added weight. I suggest (for a tripod), the Celestron Regal tripod, it's well capable of handling the weight of the scope and had what I consider an excellent 3 axis fluid pan and elevation.Don't expect stability (with this spotter) attached to a lightweight carbon fiber tripod, won't happen.For the price point, it's an excellent optic. Heavy compared to a lesser (smaller objective) optic, but on the plus side, the larger the objective, the better low light gathering capabilities a spotter will have.I recommend it for long range spotting as well as range use. Hard to beat the image quality for the price point.
