[sac-forum] Re: On Binoculars and Mounts

Paul,
  Thanks for the pics.  I should be able to generate something by the next ATM 
meeting (I hope).  I could make a parts list for interested parties so they 
could bring them and all we'd have to do is drill holes and stuff.  :-)

Ok, it sounds like there's interest.  I don't 
believe pictures can be attached here, and I don't have a site for 
posting them.   I'll go ahead and send them to those who 
responded. Beevo didn't seem to mind sharing them.  Basically, his mount is 
meant to attach to the camera screw on a sturdy camera tripod.  The really 
nice thing is that it folds up really small.  Oh, Steve, one thing that 
doesn't show in the picture is the upper part of the steel pin that screws onto 
the tripod head. It fits inside the vertical part shown, and I 
believe it serves as the main support and bearing surface on which the 
mount rotates. Wait a second and I'll send the pix.
-Paul
