BACKGROUND

Bino-Arm was created and developed to solve the problem of binocular wobble. In so doing, the solution had to be simple, and it had to be effective in all locations and under all conditions. The three essential factors were, therefore, ‘Positive Stability’, ‘Versatility’ and ‘Portability’. All of these have been achieved.

The overall problem of stability is well set out in the book ‘Exploring the Night Sky with Binoculars’ by Sir Patrick Moore.

"…Most photographic shops sell binocular mounts which can be screwed into the top of a camera tripod. This is satisfactory enough: though it is often necessary to perch the tripod on top of a platform or a solid table, as otherwise you will have to be something of a contortionist when looking at an object high in the sky"

"…Again the main essential is steadiness. What you really want is the facility of moving the binoculars freely in any direction, in altitude and also in azimuth…"

Bino-Arm also provides the simple and effective solution to those other three criteria. 'Steadiness', 'Altitude', and 'Azimuth' are all covered, with the extra facilities of being able to ‘Scan’ over the land or in the sky, and of being able to 'Follow Moving Objects'.
