You mean having the thumbs along the length axis of the tubes, not across (as the fingers are).
Wow, that's so much better!
Thanks! :king:
Are you kidding? The thumb indents on my new swaros must have cost me 200 euro, I´m not going to let them go to waste!!!Do you use the military (thumbs up) grip, Sancho?
You almost have me sussed, Kevin, but underestimate my stupidity. I´ve tried the thumbs-up grip when playing binocular-comparison, but not much in the field. Today, when watching one of your beautiful North American Grebes at a really atmospheric site in SW Ireland, I tried it for real on the basis of your post, and I found it reduced the "pa-dump" hearbeat-factor considerably. So...does this mean that a lot of the shake comes from an artery in the base of the thumb?I'm smiling here at the idea that you Sancho, or any others that have been around these here parts for awhile, have not known of, let alone been using some form of the thumbs up grip.
Hey, Kevin, no slight interpreted! I´m always grateful for advice. I´m also on a buzz because I twitched a Pied-Billed Grebe today and it was one beautiful little bird.:t:No, no my friend. I didn't mean it as a slight. It was more in the vein of things we take for granted.

Works for me! Shows a great photo of a Wrac or a Wren or whatever those wartime women on the Home Front were called, looking through a huge pair of binos, maybe 80 or 90mm, using the military grip....which I now realise, thanks to the photo, I was doing wrong!Not for me either.
