I've had a chance to test them out, and needless to say they are a pleasure to view though.

However, I do feel that to get the best viewing experience with these binocs, I need the height -adjustable mount that CN recommends in it's review. The Manfrotto 3258 (now known as 161MK2B) mount is heavy duty and has a centre geared lift mechanism.

Would anyone happen to know if Manfrotto mounts can be bought from anywhere in Oz ?

Cheers
I recently bought a slightly unusual Manfrotto tripod for work purposes and the local City Camera House here in Mildura had it in my hands in a week. This was after trying an 'reputable' internet store (in WA as it happens), who strung me along for six weeks until I cancelled the order. Though CCH stores are franchised so service will vary...
