The Yunteng adds 235gm and a £4 L-bracket 62gm. The Yunteng has tab adjusters for height, and a simple tilt head. It has held up well in use for me, but I always wear the binocular strap around my neck just in case.To give examples of the advantages of the arrangement, I can scan a shoreline for almost as long as I like without having to pause and rest my arms.Or when walking I bear the weight of the binocular 'at the waist', rather than round the neck.Stephen</blockquote>
