[sac-forum] Re: On Binoculars and Mounts

I have an email in to the Kansas City group on this too.  One of their
members is a retired mechanical engineer who designed a bino mount and sold
them a few years ago. He quit making them, but I am asking him if he has
drawings or photos he can supply to us.  It was as smooth as silk and
lightweight to boot!

Darrell,

 

We never got around to discussing the binocular mount because everyone was
deeply involved in their own project at the time.  As a starting point we
looked at Beevo's mount, which he has since sold on EBay.  There are no
mechanical drawings for it, but he posted some good pictures on EBay.  I
don't remember the listing number but it's still there.  I have a couple
these pix and will send them to you this afternoon.  Gotta go now.
