They have a belt worn case which holds the binocs parallel to the belt, so it is like the binocs are not even there, yet they are very handy....

I was standing on a sand dune, so I was a little unstable as well. There are very thin antennas on the top of the light and they are sharp as a tack.<br/>This photo was used in a calendar and it had more resolution than was necessary to print a high quality image. <br/>The camera sports an awesome Leica lens an is easy to hold and control with the aid of it's built in hand grip....
