I’ve seen videos and reviews, and I love the weight savings and pack ability of it. Just looking to see if anyone has regrets from moving to the mini spotter?
Thanks!

I picked up the new compact and really like it so far but I didn’t get rid of my full size razor as I figure there’s a place for both. Compact for packing around and full size for truck or whenever weight isn’t an issue
True, I find myself using my full size spotter for everything, even scouting some of my goose fields to locating turkey roosts and everything in between.
When I go on my archery hunts I wouldn’t mind less weight and you don’t lose much magnification just some features.

My Nikon ED50 13-40 fits that, I hope the new little razor does too.
With that said, I have been eyeballing a Kowa 66mm that looks like it punches above it's weight class.

I owned the original 50mm Razor spotter and imo it was not worth the weight savings. A great pair of binos would be a better option. The glass on my 10x42 Geovid Pro binos make my 65mm Razor look like poop.
I like good 50mm spotters, and I agree. The old 50mm razor was simply not worth it.
If I was in the market for a new 50ish mm spotter I would be looking very closely at this new one.

Good point! That was also another option I was thinking. I currently run 10x42 vipers and found myself wanting a little more power this past season.

I went a different route recently than that. I love my EL10x42s, and last year I happened to spot a deer on a long ridgeline over a mile away. My Razor UHD gen 2 showed it was a 3x4, great! But I also saw other deer and looked with the scope, only to find more deer I hadn't seen with the 10x. And more, and more. How many deer was I missing out on with the 10x in the shadows that far away? And how many was I missing with the reduced FOV of the spotter? Had to do it, bought some SLC 15x56s. Can't wait to try them out this year.
