EZ Binoc Mount Kit Customer Mods
George Huftalen of Warren RI has made numerous refinements to his mount.
In the image to right, mount modifications include bicycle grips all over the place to make operating and dismantling easier, a bicycle grip on the mounting nipple for enhanced protection against swiveling, and white rubber chair feet over the pipe end caps to facilitate removing pipe caps to access weights.
Note the red dot finder mounted on his Zhumell 25X100s.
A Sky Atlas has been mounted on the binocular side arm for easy reference.
To the left, George has Velcro attaching both a flashlight and a laser pointer.
To the right, he’s attached bicycle grips to the mount legs to facilitate disassembly for transport.
Dave Lange of Schenectady NY “First off, I LOVE my new mount. I like to lift my binocular (25×100) with both hands when mounting or removing the binocular. And a dog leash is all it takes.
John Krawczak added a laser finder to his Celestron Skymaster 15 x 70 binoc setup at the suggestion of his son. He reports “Your EZ Binoc Mount is a first-rate low-cost design. It puts fun and comfort into binoc viewing. I have found that I can wrap a Velcro strap around the barrel of my binocs, securing my green laser pointer without any mechanical interference with the MOUNT. The laser beam lines up as-is to the middle part of the FOV and is secure enough in the MOUNT to allow pressing the ON button without the binocs shifting. Where I live near a metropolis even with a large FOV it is sometimes hard to find an obvious object of interest so the laser is useful.”
