Sorry guys... for some reason the photos got lost... I'll try again!
EDIT: Captions Added...

Image1: The PST on the mount.

Image 2: The mount is supplied with cork washers between the cradle and the binocular mounting point. I use a small velcro tie to keep these in place during transport and storage.

Image 3: The cradle has 3 height adjustment positions fo different size binoculars or scopes.

Image 4: A close up of the cradle pivot and clutch arrangement.

Image 5: Another view of the pivot and clutch.

Image 6: With the tripod head level the binoculars can reach about 50 degrees altitude.

Image 7: This view shows the 20x80s installed with the cradle pivot still in the default position (for 100mm binoculars). Notice the pivot point is above the centre line of the binoculars. When correctly adjusted the pivot should on the centre line of the binoculars or just very slightly above it.
