What is the difference between Binoculars and a Spotting Scope, which should I buy for my use?
I live on the 16th floor, I can see for miles out of my window and I would like have either binoculars or a scope to look out my window. That would be my main use. Which would work better for this use; binoculars or a spotting scope, and what is the difference?

Binoculars are more compact, generally have less magnification, and primarily used to scan large areas. Spotting scopes have to be mounted on a tripod and is better at looking for details, more magnification and simpler optics, but not as portable as binoculars. I use my optics to shoot, when I shoot short distances, I use my binoculars, easier to use, no hassle of setting up the thing. But when I shoot long distances, I shoot my bows out to 100 yards, then I will use my scope. It can tell me which arrows are mine and which are my friend’s.
So if you want something you can easily bring along with you, buy a compact binocular. But if you just want the thing to stay by your window and you like to see details of objects far away, get the scope.
