I found the S50 to be a little too large and too heavy when I took it to Botswana in December. Bush planes have a low weight limit, so I had to use a bit of trickery to get both the S50 and my photographic equipment through. So the S30 is likely a better?option for my upcoming trips to Alaska and South?Africa. But I'm a little concerned?about the resolution difference. How substantial is it?

Michael,

Attached for size comparisons though in reality the S30 seems much smaller than the S50, more so than the photo shows, b/c of the weight difference. The footprint of the scope inside the case is quite different. Both Seestars need a better tripod than the OEM. The S30 tripod is a 'joke' - though one has to remember its purpose is to be put into a backpack or into carry-on luggage ... aka very portable. I immediately bought INNOREL carbon fiber tripods for both, the S50 after seeing the OEM tripod and the S30 two months before it was even delivered. I spent about 50% of the cost of the S50 on the CF tripod, and just north of 40% the cost of the S30 with a slightly lighter & smaller INNOREL CF tripod.
