But the ease of use and speed of the bino-gun is terrific for closer work.I did try fitting a motorcycle throttle on the for grip to speedily remote focus the binocular - and with partial success I might add. But I found the bulky cables waving around cumbersome.  So its back to the drawing board for the Mk3 !!!(actually I have been sidetracked and am now working on a rifle/shoulder stock mount version for the big scope - with a remotely operated electronic focus system. Prototype tests have been good. So now its a case of finding time to build the finished product, for field trials.)</blockquote>
