I know the Meopta's are generally heavier than most of their competitors, but does that really warrant the use of the Meopta Monopod? (I am interested in the 7x42, 7x50 or 8x56 for the long eye relief)
I also cannot work out how it is supposed to be used from the photo. It looks like a walking stick with a short V shape on the top, do you rest an elbow on it?
Sounds like you rest the bins on it ... rather like a Finnstick. Or a shooting stick (you put the rifle in the V). Or a scope. A T top is easier for bins to use.

That's a rather unfortunate ordering of pictures though ... the hunter is taking aim at the guy with the spotter. Always wear orange 
Now that is a funny photo. The hunter is lining up the birder and the birder wants to know where he can get one of those snazzy vests!
