birdwatching telescope mounting
Posted: 04 Oct 2019, 19:16
One of the things I love to do and one of the main reasons for modifying a chair to have big wide wheels and large castors is so that I canget out and about to go bird and nature watching.
I've tried mounting a hide clamp telescope mount onto various bits of armrest / armrest extension (i.e. bolted bar under the armrest) and even onto footrest bits but haven't come up with anything stable enough fr the high magnification yet and generally these end up being one side or the other so don't end up in the best viewing position either.
I just wondered if there were any other budding bird watches/ phone scopers who may have come up with a better soloution of how to make a really steady telescope mount?
