Giro WR + 28x110

[Pepeporras69]

Hello,

I have a Manfrotto 028+503HDV but i don't like

"The sensations" with the big 28x110...

Do you think that maybe was better with a Giro wr+l bracket+manf 028...?

Thankz

Pepe

I've used a setup similar to yours (Manfrotto 028/502ah) with my 20x110 & although it worked ok up to a point, realistically the 17lb binocular was too much for the set up. To get the best from an instrument of this size, a parallelogram mount is by far the best mounting solution. The binocular is counterbalanced & suspended in mid air, away from the tripod legs. Unfortunately the suitable commercially available examples are quite expensive, as much if not more than the cost of the binocular! Another, and a lot less expensive option, is to have a go at building your own. This is what I did and have not looked back since.
