[Re: SMark]       #5528723 - 11/19/12 08:18 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Depends how heavy the binos are. 9x63 and 15x63 orion minigiants are only 2.5 lbs and had holdable, but the 9x63 is less fatiguing and more enjoyable lor longer periods of time, The 15x is more enjoyable for smaller objects and shorter periods of time. Garret pistol grip Monopods greatly enhance stability and stil provide that hand hold feel. Post Extras:       ChiroCop member Reged: 04/05/11 Loc: Fort Worth, TX.
