I hardly use my scope now as I prefer to travel light and don't like lugging loads of equipment around.
Does anyone know of an alternative to the tripod?
I was thinking of some kind of 'shoulder pod/brace' to which the scope could be attached and hung from the shoulder, then raised up to the eye as you would a rifle...much easier and lighter I would think than the usual scope/tripod setup.
I'm thinking of buying a 65mm scope for lightness and portability and then attach it to the shoulder pod, which I could then carry into the field along with my bins without feeling like Sherpa Tensing!!
Can anyone help? Are there any 'shoulder pods' (if that's what there called) available here in the UK?
