Optisan's folding birder's stool is an ideal accessory for less strenuous walks when you wish to enjoy some higher magnification with great steady observing. In regard to keeping a steady bead upon your subject, "glassing" while seated is unquestionably an easier proposition than standing-the extra legs as well as the pivot point of your body's position contribute to better stability. Combine with a monopod with pan/tilt head and a binocular tripod adapter for best results.
