Hi Nordo
I have the Vixen 30x125 giant bino’s on the Vixen fork and swing mount bracket, which IMHO are essential for bino’s this size and weight (11kg’s).
I made the pillar adapter and tripod myself and as you can see it is oversize, although very comfortable to use. The tripod tray easily fits a notebook computer. The white cable you can see under the tripod tray is a 4 way power board for the notebook computer and Kendrick dew heaters for the objectives and eyepieces.
To really enjoy using any binoculars, and in particular these giant bino’s, I have found that you need to be seated, comfortable and able to move them smoothly so all those environmental factors can “vanish” and just leave you with the lovely field of view.
If you have to bend, strain your neck, or experience any difficulty in pointing the bino’s or obtaining smooth movements, then the whole viewing experience suffers and you are less likely to use the bino’s or will spend too little time enjoying them once you have set them up.
Cheers
Dennis
