Not sure betwen this and the Cullmann clamps? I want to put the Kowa TSN772 I recently got from you on it.

Both the Opticron and the Cullmann (with the video head) hide clamps should comfortably take the weight of the Kowa TSN772.

The Cullmann is a little bit neater to carry, but the Opticron has a longer and more adjustable column.

I would probably lean towards the Opticron, but there is not much to choose between them.

Will the RSPB AG-80 scope fit the mounting for this hide clamp?

The Opticron Hide Clamp has a standard 1/4" Whitworth thread, so it should fit most (if not all) spotting scopes.

It is unlikely that the RSPB would put a non-standard thread on their scopes, so should screw onto the head.

Is this clamp ok to use with the KOWA ts501 scope.

Yes, the Kowa TS500 scopes would be fine on top of the Opticron Hide Clamp.

The Clamp can easily accomodate a TS500 scope.

Thank you for your comments.

We have sold a number of these to Canada (and indeed many countries of the British Commonwealth).
