I'm currently making an adaptor for someone to say,,,,hold your 15x70 binos and an object above that as well. I'm not saying what that object is as of yet as I'm thinking it won't work due to the device. Below is a pic of the adaptor for the 15x70s, the black dot on the verticle is where I'm going to place a hole for the binos and the 2 dots on top are for the other thing. m2 -------------------- Light travels faster than sound.
