Big Sky Binocular Stand

This invention makes it possible for disabled persons (or anyone!) to comfortably and easily view distant wildlife or other objects of interest for extended periods of time. Each piece is fully customized to fit you and your personal set of binoculars, video camera, still camera, spotting scope or telescope. The stand is free standing with a fluid 360-degree pivot range; simply remove the tethered locking pin. With the pin in place, the unit is stable and easily transported. It is designed to sit on the lap, and all angles are fully adjustable to ease strain on back and shoulders. The height is adjustable from 23" to 28", and the binocular frame adjusts forwards and backwards. Made of aluminum, this unit weighs just 4 lbs. without binoculars.

A fixed version for wheelchair use is also available.

Big Sky Pedal Platforms

Ideal for Physical Therapy. This unit has an aluminum plate that attaches to the standard pedals on an exercycle. I drill the holes through the pedals & the platforms to accept the bolts. The pedals & platform are included in one package deal. On top of the aluminum plate are 1" high adjustable lips, to hold the foot in the same position every time with the included strap. It is easy to adjust - just loosen the allen screws and arrange the foot on the pedal platform. Adjust the lips so they touch the outside of the shoe and tighten screws. For people with shaky feet, this unit will help keep the foot in the same position while pedaling. This unit can then be removed from the standard pedals if you need to use it without the platform. The platform is not for use with a regular bicycle.
