That looks great.

This months Aussie Sky and Telescope has a DIY image stabiliser too. For those who haven't bought AS&T, their design consists of a pair of timber rails that project backwards over each shoulder as counterweight. The binos are strapped to the bit that projects out the front. The idea is that the inertia of the frame lessens the wobble. I can't help thinking of Mr Bean using one of these at a star party and knocking everything for six.

Yours looks a great deal more user friendly; and many times less embarressing if used in public.
