Simple DIY forhead rest using a bottle plug (1 Viewer)

I know Swarovski is going to hate me, but I have to share this .

Last couple of days, I can’t help myself from thinking about a simple idea for a forehead rest, and this is as simple as it could get I think. It works great for me and helped identifying some texts that otherwise indistinguishable without.

Take me a while to figure it out ... Great PS skill !

I have used it for more time yesterday afternoon. Seriously this works really well! It is much lighter (less than an oz) and much less bulky than the Swarovski solution. It is super comfortable too. It is also a more general solution and can be implemented on literally any binoculars (using different length of wine stoppers). Most importantly it costs me less than $2 not counting the bino bandit which I have already had. With the Swarovski forehead rest, I wouldn't have been able to use the bino bandit anymore and that actually is the main reason I wanted an alternate solution.

Haha. Clever. I bet that's nice with a little bit of squish to absorb some vibrations.
