A tangential comment - I don't see that any form of mount changes the neck angle as such - the binoculars still have to point at the object in question. If you cannot change to 45 deg or 90 deg eyepieces (and most of us cannot) or use the mirror option (I'll have to try that one day) - and these methods will invert your view, defeating a benefit of binoculars, namely WYGIWYS (what you get (to view) is what you see in the sky) - then the secret is to change your body's location - hence the need to design mounts that you can slide yourself under or lie under.
