Have you ever considered trying a harness strap? I’ve fitted all of my binoculars with one for two great ergonomic benefits: 1). They greatly reduce binocular “swing” while you walk, and 2). The weight of your binocular will be distributed through your shoulders and back instead of your neck, making it considerably more [...]

Capturing Video through Binoculars
I was surprised by a young Barred Owl that flew over me while birding a few days ago. Amazingly, it landed on the shore of the creek and proceeded to drink! I didn’t have my spotting scope or tripod in order to digiscoping it, but I still wanted to capture a video of [...]

Monoculars and Walking the Dog
