I am trying to figure out if the recent crop of open bridge binoculars is an example of “hive mind” fashion marketing or have consumers suddenly re-discovered and demanded the open bridge?
One reason often cited (in marketing literature) is open bridge provides a better grip. I am sure that may be true for some hands (but not most hands). I have tied both and any binocular feels secure in my hands.
