Here's a little tip that may be so obvious to you its insulting, but just in case you never thought of it...

Get a decent length broom handle or curtain rod and tape or nail a couple of book shelf brackets to form a crucifix.

Now you have a portable rest for your elbows which you could leave lying around in the garden.

Its no good for looking at the zenith but then lying on your back is the only comfortable way of doing that

anyway.

I'm 6' 1" and for some reasom tripods to match my height are too expensive for my purposes.

This was a cheap and cheerful solution which at least takes the strain off your upper arms when holding bins

up for more than a few minutes.

Quite

Quick, easy and ultra-portable - not so good for high-power bins but great for 8-12x.

That is obvious .... but only after you said it

Nice one

As soon as I have to "mess around" before I use a pair of binoculars it takes the shine right off them for me.

Your 6'1 and you think you have problems lol, I'm 6'5 and most things are too small for me lol.

Love the boom handle idea though!
