After much research, CAD Drawing and woodwork, my latest DIY project is complete. ........A Heavy Duty Cradle Fork Mount for my 100mm Binos or any "Small" Scope with a Vixen/Celestron Dove Tail Bar Mount. nSpace01 |

Your mount looks pretty cool! Sure glad I don't have to tote it around, though. It looks like it would be pretty heavy. Dave - Morrow, AR |

I finally got around to "Using" this new mount in the feild last Friday night, at the most recent HNC Star Party..............Needless to say, it is just too heavy and ungainly............The tripod is out of balance and tries to tip at a "Wrong" touch. It is like trying to balance a 70 pound, four foot long Teeter-Toter, four feet in the air................ nSpace01 |
