Never Saw A Mount Like This Before

The website that the image is from will not open. I am not in the market for a new binocular mount, but I love window shopping. Who sells such a style binoculars mount?

I am referring to the distance from the balancing weights and the binoculars. Made for great leg movement from the tripod/support of the mount.

It is just an adaption of the concept for ease of use with binoculars, with telescopes the shorter arms keeps the weights closer and more stable for higher loads.

That kinda looks like be a DIY rig to me. Maybe not, but I've seen pix of some pretty impressive metalwork by people who have access to well-equipped metal shops.

Google image search finds that image on the following website:

but that may not help you.
