Thanks guys! Just an additional note – if your binocular optical tubes are longer than ours, you might benefit from cutting a longer length off cut from the 70mm PVC pipe. This should provide more longitudinal stability.

Also, the 70mm PVC pipe had an ideal circular cross section for our Leica 12x50’s. I believe you can get different diameter pipes if your binocular optical tubes are of a lesser or greater diameter.

Another possible design improvement might be to use a strong rubber band and clip rather than the Velcro strap, although we’ve found that by setting the binocular interpupilliary distance first, then clamping the binocular in the holder second, seems to be a suitable approach. We both enjoy the same settings as our eyes are the same distance apart – oh bliss!

Cheers

Dennis
