George,
I would also add my congratulations on your recent bino purchase. If you have any problems with the binos please send an e-mail to Kevin at Oberwerk before sending them back. I understand that he is able to give corrective instructions via e-mail (or phone I would imagine if warranted) for general repair/maintenance issues. It is indeed unfortunate that there was not a dealer in the UK where you could have secured a similar satisfactory purchase. Not that I am knocking doing business with the U.S., I just think there is a comfort level in being able to walk in to the dealer where you purchased a piece of equipment and work out corrections. At any rate, the 15x70 should serve you well. If they work well on arrival they should do nicely.
Tom, As it regards building a bino mount. There are instructions on building a parallelogram bino mount (probably the most popular type) in the book "Starware" by Philip Harrington. In addition, if you go to Google and type in, "Binocular mount" you will get quite a number of hits. Sort through them until you find building plans for binocular mounts. Actually, you might even try entering the term, "binoculars mount construction" or something similar.
I am presently in the process of building my own binoculars mount for my 4.6 pound binos from plans (more like idea sketches) I found on the web. One of my goals was to keep it all under US$50 (minus tripod). If it works I will be happy to share the information on How- To-Do-It (and possibly what not to do) here on Cloudy Nights.
Thank you gentlemen for the opportunity to jump in and add my two-cents worth.
Nick
