Looks cool. Have you considered adding a camera for piggyback photography?

I use each independently, but not piggybacked. I sure wouldn't want to bump against the binocs during a long exposure.

The aluminum bar holds a DSLR with most lenses from wide angle to tele. The binocs and DSLR can be quickly exchanged as needed in a minute or two, so I haven't really found a need to piggyback, so far at least.

One of the nicest features of this setup is having slow-motion knobs with the binocs, it's almost like traveling through space!
