Mirror type bino mounts!

I have the Apogee 100x25 binocular, so I'm looking for a binocular mount for
it.
Any one has any experiance with these light weight, very portable mirror
type mounts, like the SkyView or the SkyScaner. Seems a good idea, compare
to the paralleogram type.
All though, I think the mirror can fog or get dirty, also one has to train
itself to find objects , as I read the reviws.

Thanks, Julius

I have no knowledge of those, I assume they are similar to the Skywindow?

If so then your binocs may be too powerful. The Skywindow has a maximum
usable magnification of 20x. This is because the mirror cannot be made
flat enough to support higher magnification (at a reasonable cost, that
is)

I've just found the Sky Scanner on the web. It is cheaper than the
Skywindow but the mirror angle is fixed compared to the binoculars. The
Skywindow has a fixed binocular angle but the mirror angle is adjustable
so that you can view different parts of the sky.

Frankly with 25x100 binoculars I don't think any of these will work (but I
could be wrong)

Yes (not wrong)! Never heard of any 100mm binos referred to
as junk. Why introduce a suspect mirror into the light path
of a sophisticated optical device?
