Fork Mounted Binos

l've made a universal mounting plate for a set of 8" LX50 fork arms for use with medium to large binos.
First run last night and it all works really well. Being able to track without having to hold them steady is great. l am also doing a set of 10" fork arms to take large binos and small to medium scopes.
