Granted, I don't think I'd be out in a strong wind but thought even a slight breeze would be enough to catch on the shroud and make observing frustrating.
cheers
I understand but I think the one finger push is bit misleading in this instance...one finger can deliver a lot of force if it is needed.

The Obsessions (and others) are smooth in their movement...I might say "consistant" instead of smooth. You want to avoid the "jerkiness" (my opinion) which is more of an issue to me then force to start motion. I hope that makes sense.
