Ok, mission accomplished I just need to paint it and make some minor corrections in the future.
Things I like:
- very comfortable viewing while standing, sitting or even lying down
- smooth motion and well balanced - it stays wherever is positioned
- the long binocular bearing arm - it eliminates risk of accidentally kicking one of the tripod's legs, while observing.
Improvements needed:
- there is a slight sway of the vertical shaft - it's just too long - i will reduce the size. It is not really impeding observations, but it's noticeable. I may also think of reinforcing it with additional tubes.
- setting up is a tricky part, preferably a job for two people - there is a huge imbalance when the bino is not attached and the tripod dances around.
I had to add 5lbs of weight on the bottom of the shaft for stability. This is another thing that need to be done... better.
