[Re: Markus]       #1922069 - 10/19/07 02:10 PM Attachment (17 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Markus, I made my L-bracket out of 1/2" aluminum stock and I added a small triangle for support. It's extremely stiff and easily held my 28lb BT100s. It's shown with the 16lb 20x100 GO binos. -------------------- Rick M Leica 7x42 BA Leica 8x20 BCA Leica 10x30 BA Pentax PCF III 7x50 William Optics 7x50ED Fujinon 10x70 Miyauchi NBA-71 Saturn II Garrett Optical 20x110 Signature Post Extras:       Falcon Birder super member Reged: 04/16/07 Posts: 111 Re: Which plan is more stable?

I really admire those of you who are handy and can work on their own design. I am totally TLC challenged, hence rely on commercial product completely. -------------------- Zen-Ray SUMMIT 10x42 WP Swaroski 8.5x42 EL Leica 8x32 Ultravid Post Extras:       Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all) Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 7 registered and 9 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
