Binocular mount

Well, It's not the best mount I've had to use..or the worst .. but it'll do for awhile. The shaft needs to be a wee bit longer to get further away from the tripod & the bracket I made to hold the binos to the shaft is a bit weak.
She'll be apples. Now I can go out and view some nice rain clouds!!

No doubt it's been done plenty of times before Iddon, but thanks anyway. Certainly beats holding them by hand that's for sure!

Just an idea I had in my head before spotting the EQ mount in the shed. Obviously you can adjust the height, the distance the binos are away from the centre pole & the horizontal & vertical directions. Using perhaps 30-40mm pipe, 2 3/8" nuts & bolts 2 bigger dia. pipe sleeves, 3 bits of rod or pipe for the tripod base, a bit of welding, paint it. Just an idea..
