Brilliant invention, works great, even while cycling along as long as I keep the strap pretty short but for a pocket bin and no neck strap something like the Leica would be good I expect.I think the op basically asked is it worth searching on and on to see if there is something better for him than the Leica as it's the one he currently prefers but does find difficult with eye placement and he's tried the Swaros and they are bulkier heavier than he would like.So is it worth searching on and on? Is there anything more to discover?will he order hundreds more bins?Can we tell him what he likes and should therefore get?No.Does it all really matter much?I don't think so. There are plenty of bins that would do the job fine. He has one or several at the moment and more on the way. So I'm a bit baffled as to why this is so seemingly a difficult problem?Ok, if you just want to order loads of bins to try them all then fine. It seems it's just more about that than actually going on a hike with a small binocular but my question is why?We're on the imaginary perfection trail and this is my turn off before my head melts.If you've found a bin that you like and he has then that's a pretty good situation.If there is anything about them that annoys considerably and consistently then best avoid such as very particular eye placement.My bet he keeps the Leica......eventually but it would be interesting if he discovered something else better. I shouldn't encourage.</blockquote>
