Hi folks. Some of you may have heard about my new Light it Up (lightituplevel.com). I am looking to get some input about different ways to mount the ocular piece (see below for what I currently have)

So right now, the ocular piece is attached with VHB mounting tape and the contact patch is 0.5” deep and arcs across 2 inches around the ocular of the scope or scope cap.

I am curious if folks have opinions about this or if anyone would like other options?

Some ideas I have been bouncing around but don’t know if folks would like include: snap ring with incremented clicks, integrated scope cap (probably more challenging to do), velcro or elastic strapping.

I appreciate any thoughts and opinions. I made this thing the way I like it but really want to make folks the options they’d like in the future.

Kyle, I would go for something you can remove and reinstall easily like velcro or elastic strapping. I decided to go back to bikini style cover once I realized that one of my common mental / process mistakes was starting the stage with either both or one of the caps closed. So not a fan of a dual function ocular scope cap
