Looking for advice again I'm afraid!
I've got an unfortunate neck problem which means that wearing any binocular strap round my neck even with my old light weight Optolyth Alpins gives me severe headaches.
I can't manage my new Swarovskis for more than a few moments.
I've read threads on bino straps and even the thread that suggested cutting the stap and adding a wooden coathanger! That last one degenerated into quite an amusing 'discussion' but my problem is beginning to spoil my birding.
Can anyone comment on harnesses: good ones, bad ones, things to look out for, inherant problems etc.
Thanks.
Roger
There are a number of good harnesses out there and in my opinion are the way to go. My current one is Swarovskis' newest. Whatever you choose, the straps should have a little bit of "elastic" in them.
As you live in the UK, you may find a brand made in Spain, which is well made. I am going to search my flat, to see if I can find the packaging. If I recall it had two models, one was elastic. Additionally, separate mounting straps were available, so for a couple of quid extra, you could have two different binoculars ready for mounting.
Happy bird watchig,
