Has anyone ever built one of these or something like it?

I have a very good set of Fujinon marine binoculars 7X50 and want to build one of these for viewing the moon, etc.

Does anyone else have any similar ideas for binoculars?

Here is a link for first surface mirrors:

No I haven’t, but I do have a binocular mount similar to this. It’s balanced with a counterweight so it essentially floats in the air. Very easy to use and comfortable, especially when combined with a lawn chair.

      • Before you go spending so much on “optical grade” first-surface mirrors, I would advise stopping by an auto parts store and buying a regular (flat) truck replacement outside mirror. You don’t need a perfect-quality mirror because the magnification of binoculars is low.
