I prefer angled for target shooting and straight for hunting.

As previously stated it's merely a ford Chevy fight. If you already own a straight spotter you will definitely struggle at 1st with the angled versions. If you are buying your very 1st spotter buy the one that has eye appeal for you. That being said as someone who uses spotters way more than the average joe I run straight only.  Good luck.

Well damn, that was like reading a ford vs chevy thread.  The one thing that stood out to me is that somebody said with an angled you dont need as tall (heavy) of a tripod.  Thats something to consider, saving a bit of weight and bulk in the pack.

I like a heavier tripod.  The wind doesn't effect them as much.  I also like a straight eye piece.

Straight all the way for me.
My standing tripod has to be taller, but that's fine. Usually just toss them in the truck. Most of time behind by spotter is sitting so a short light tripod works just fine.

Never had a spotting scope but i think its time.  What are the pros and cons in the straight vs angled decision?  Only con i can think of to angled is it seems like it would be hard to look down low from up high.  Thoughts?
