On the relatively few occasions where I have mounted the Vixen 30x125’s on my home made P mount, whilst lounging in a recliner, the views have been quite wonderful. Major contributing factors to this experience, have been the relaxed reclined position, the 45 degree eyepiece arrangement and limiting my sweeping to areas defined by the comfort of my neck and the limited range of movement from the P mount.
I have tried tripod mounted viewing and it was less satisfactory, although much quicker to set up.
My most enjoyable sessions have been when the bino’s and the mount “disappeared”; that is, I was simply looking at the exit pupils with no awareness of body weight, position, discomfort, having to wrestle with the bino’s etc.
Even better than this, would be a motorized, GoTo binocular chair, costing less than $1,000!
Cheers
