Seeing these pictures I'm wondering: shouldn't it be possible to give this scope a perfectly stable and balanced 3D printed or molded, lightweight 'shoe' that would have an ArcaSwiss bottom plate and/or with 2 screw threads (like Opticron,or for 1 screw and 1 antirotation pin). With 'balanced' I mean with that foot's base being just below the center of gravity.
This should be easily possible, as there is already 1 screw thread and a base that is fixed (not rotating collar at the bottom), giving together all that is needed for stable and not-rotating fixation.
It could even hold a small slot to attach the eyepiece cover or such (can be handy in windy situation) or other small additional bonus. It could even exist in a solution that is a SOC+foot, 2-in-1.
Swarovski should give that with the scope. Or maybe some 3rd party could make that?
