And they beat the Nikon SE 8x32 in this category. Clearly beating the best. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />In fact with roofs, which are pretty "thin", the strap lugs are at the side so they all hang rather well. It's just porros with a "thick" prism enclosure hump so if the lugs are on the bottom/inside of the prism enclosure then the position of the COG will force a objectives into the body. Not all porros suffer from this e.g. those with mounting points at the sides of the prism enclosure (usually built-in so they don't dig into the hands like the Leupold Yosemite).Though I must say the times I've worn my 8x32 SE I haven't actually noticed the objective into the body tilt as a big problem.</blockquote>
