Felt dizzy after using bino?

I think it will be better for the mirror, the bino and the viewer chair to be mounted on a rotating table (slow speed, otherwise also dizzy)

I think it can be mounted on a tripod too. Anyway, I won't use such a thing as a bino to me is to be used in a correct image mode.

Any 45 or 90 deg diagonal bino viewer for bino? It will help too.

There are 45 and 90 degree binos that give correct image. It would be better for the neck and also it can be mounted on a normal tripod mount instead of those Parallelogram mounts.

However, these binos have very limited field of view..sort of defeat the purpose of having a bino in the first place.

Interesting ...

I just have to get past the idea of having to cramp my neck up against a tripod, which is why I sold my 20x80s in the first place.

Maybe binoviewers would do better for me.

OT: regarding 90 deg binos with interchangable EPs, you can consider the Vixen BT-80 from McGill or Astro Scientific. Robin from McGill also has a Chinese-made 100mm 90 deg bino with mount and tripod for sale (same as those from Oberwerk/bigbinoculars.com), but this is a rather heavy setup... consider it only if you are as passionate about heaving heavy stuff like Weixing.
