Bino chair

Post by Canopus Lim »

Bino chair

Interesting bino chair! Most of the bino chair that I have seen on the net are big and clumsy. This one seems portable enough. Perhaps we could ATM something like this?

The price is a bit expensive - I can get 2 WO 90mm for that!

ATM? I think balance and materials are important here.. not sure if we can replicate the design successfully?

For a chair at that price, I will consider OSIM massage chair :)

if you really get one, can try modify the chair so that it can also take a Newtonian OTA, then you will have a bino chair cum semi-auto dob mount.

The cost is high probably due to the fact that its motorised and it can rotate/ tilt using hand held controller.

I am still looking a chair with fairly high arm rest for my elbows.

Anyone here has recommendations??

If you're buying this I can probably try to copy it, maybe even adapt SS2K to it :-)

No money to buy such an expensive chair that is why it would be great if can be copied with cheap chairs. With that money, I would prefer the Osim chair anytime. :)
