It’s about time someone came up with an idea like this!

Bought it for my daughter to join me antelope hunting. She got a kick out of it and actually spotted more in the sagebrush that I did. Good product, good time!

Didn’t really think it would work like it says...I was totally wrong. Its great!

If you’re spotting wildlife, this system makes it easier and it works.

I’ve tried several bino-packs in my day, but this new system is the best yet. No shakes, no sore muscles, and no extra hassle. Great product!

I’ve been hunting all my life, and my new Hawkin is way better than my regular monopod. It does what it claims.

All I’ll say is you need a Hawkin. Quality product that made sitting on the hillside spotting ten times easier than just using binoculars.

Never got tired of holding my binoculars. Great addition to last weekend’s hunt.

Light weight, and makes glassing easy. Glad I bought it.

Great quality! Assembles quick and really helps you spot your animal.

If you hunt, Hawkin changes the game. Kept my hands steady, didn’t make my arms tired.

Easy to put together and really improved my spotting the elk.

Holding up binoculars for minutes or sometimes hours glassing and trying to keep a steady hand is hard. This new Hawkin System made it easy! No shaking and I was able to go completely hands-free most of the time. Great idea.

I can’t thank my wife enough for purchasing this for me for my birthday. If you struggle with your arms getting tired after a few minutes of holding binoculars, I can’t stress to you enough how much you need to try the Hawkin.

I LOVE my Hawkin! It’s so simple to use, and the best part is that I can quickly adjust and move my binoculars, even after I’ve strapped them down. What a neat invention!

I was skeptical, but this product blew me out of the water! It’s so easy, but makes such a difference after just a few minutes outside. Every binoculars user will appreciate how much easier this makes birding, and how much lighter your binoculars feel after the pack has distributed all of the weight off of your arms.

The most worthwhile $199 I’ve spent in a while! It makes birding trips to the beach so much more relaxing and easy than they were before now that I don’t have to strain my shoulders.

It’s adjustable, it’s customizable, and it’s exactly what I’ve needed for years now. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a little extra help holding onto their binoculars.

The Hawkin is SO MUCH MORE than just a monopod! It helps with shakiness and neck strain, feels very high quality, and worked wonderfully with my binoculars. Even better, the pack held ALL of the weight. I really couldn’t have asked for more!

Talk about convenience! It’s so easy to put together. No hassle, no wasted time. Just strap it on, put it together, and you’re pretty much ready to go. It held my binoculars firmly and didn’t feel top-heavy either, which was great!

If you like to birdwatch or just watch the wildlife, this is for you. Simple, straightforward, and does exactly what it claims to do. Also very comfortable to wear too, as the little pack around my abdomen transferred all of the weight from my binoculars very nicely.

What a pleasant surprise to find out that you can adjust the head while still looking through the binoculars! I didn’t expect the Hawkin to be so easy to put together, let alone so easy to adjust and use while out and about. I couldn’t be more thrilled!

Worth every penny! Coming from an old geezer whose arms easily tire and shake after a short time, anything that can ease the pain is worth a try. This product helped me stay outside longer, which is hard to do at my age. Well done, Hawkin!

One of my favorite ways to bird is in my kayak and using the Hawkin this way was perfect! When I needed to paddle a bit, I just let it hang to my side and it wasn’t in the way at all.

My husband bought this to use on his weekend buddy trips, and he loves it. I decided to take it to Seven Peaks Fest last month, and I’ll never go to another outdoor music festival without it. I was able to see the bands up close without having to be in the middle of the huge crowds.

Easy to use right out of the box. Well constructed. It takes a second to get things out of the pack when you’re wearing it, but I think once I use it a while this won't be an issue.

The platform has a solid rubbery feel, which seems like it will hold binoculars well. The black carbon fiber looks great and feels good and the pack is nice quality. I haven’t used it much yet, but it seems like it will be easy to adjust and take apart.

I was a bit skeptical that this product would make any difference, but after reading the reviews, I decided to give it a try. I used it on an Audubon birding walk this weekend and it did improve the shake I normally experience. I don’t spend a ton of time out in the field, so I’m not sure these are worth the investment for me. But, for someone who spends a lot of time birding, this could be a game changer.

I use my binoculars for wildlife watching and birding. It takes a bit of time to get used to adjusting the tilt head while using it, but once you get the hang of it, it’s easy to change your viewing angle.

This was a great buy. I've got an awesome pair of full-size binoculars I like to use, but they are pretty heavy. This made them feel like they weighed half as much.

I was surprised how small the box my Hawkin arrived in was. Everything fits inside the pack and it took me about 5 minutes to put it together with my binoculars the first time. Adjusting the height was easy, too. It does what it claims to do!

If you use binoculars, you should try using them with a Hawkin. Easy to put together. Easy to pack. And it really takes the weight off your arms and shoulders.

For our 30th anniversary my wife and I signed up for a birding tour in Australia. I wanted to make the most of our investment of time and money and I knew we’d be tired from spending hours outside every day. When I heard about Hawkin and how much weight it takes off from using binoculars, I knew we had to try it. My only regret is only buying one Hawkin for the trip. It was so lightweight and easy to pack, we could’ve easily taken two.

Since retiring, my dad’s taken up birding, but he wasn’t able to spend as much time as he’d like to because he’d get tired. He’s a really fit guy, but holding a pair of binoculars for hours at a time is a workout for anyone! So, when his birthday was coming up, I started looking for something that would let him bird longer, and that’s when I found Hawkin. He absolutely loves it and now he’s started taking my kids out with him and they use it, too!

I started birding about a year ago and quickly got hooked! I was beginning to think I needed to get a better pair of binoculars to be able to see more clearly out in the field. But, when I tried a friend’s Hawkin with my binoculars, everything looked great since my hands weren’t shaking anymore. Instead of getting new binoculars, I got a Hawkin. Problem solved!

Living such a short distance away from the Everglades, I usually make it over there a few times a month as my schedule allows. The biggest problem I have while on the lookout for critters and birdwatching is how shaky my own arms are- I can’t tell you how many osprey I’ve seen over the years that I’ve lost sight of due to my shaky hands! The Hawkin system has completely made that shakiness go away. I was shocked to see how much easier keeping track of the osprey at a distance has become on my last several outings. I would recommend anyone with unsteady hands give this product a go.

The Hawkin System is great! Instructions for assembly were easy to follow and they fit my current binoculars perfectly. I consider myself an avid backpacker and wildlife watcher, so this has been a great addition to my lineup of essentials I bring along on every outing. I’m visiting friends in the Seattle area later this fall and plan on bringing it along to check out the views of the harbor around the city!

I’ve lived in Nantucket all my life, and I can truly say that I never get tired of the wonderful variety of birds we see here. Many times it’s as easy as sitting on my porch in the mornings and watching the sparrows at my feeder, but other times I like to wander down to the beach with my binoculars to look for more seafaring birds. The older I get though, the less time I can go without taking a rest and giving my arms and neck a break. What I love most about my Hawkin system is that it does exactly what it claims to do, which is to reduce prolonged strain, muscle ache and fatigue. It makes bird watching comfortable for long stretches of time, which is important for old timers like myself. Overall, I’m very pleased with my Hawkin!

I’ve only had the chance to try this out around my small town of Durango, but my husband and I are traveling to Hawaii this winter for my 60th, and I intend to bring it along on the catamaran to watch for dolphins and whales! Until then, I can’t wait to get some practice putting my Hawkin to good use and taking it up to Telluride with friends in the fall!

Hmm. This ended up feeling a bit top-heavy to me, though I suppose that could have just been my own binoculars and had nothing to do with the Hawkin system. I’ll have to try this with my son’s binoculars and see what kind of a difference that makes. However, I really enjoy that it comes with a pack for easy transport. Looking forward to trying this out more.

To be honest, I didn’t think this product would be as easy to put together as the website claimed it would be. Imagine my surprise when I was able to snap the pieces together in under three minutes! I have yet to use the Hawkin anywhere other than my backyard, but I will say that I noticed significantly less shakiness than if I were just holding my binoculars in my hands. I can’t wait to try this on my next outing to the coast.

If you don’t already own this product and you consider yourself a birder, wildlife watcher, etc., do yourself a favor and invest in one. I try to make it over to Yellowstone National Park every year, and having a Hawkin system for my latest trip was nothing short of pleasant. As those who have visited Yellowstone probably know, the park is often times crowded, and it can be difficult to spot an animal from hundreds of yards away. Of course, you’ll likely have your binoculars with you, but after hours of sitting in slow-moving traffic, finding a parking spot, walking the over-crowded boardwalks and finding a spot to grab lunch in a relatively short amount of time, you’re exhausted. Having the small, yet very nice convenience of not having to strain myself while looking for hard-to-spot wildlife was revolutionary. Never again will I take my annual Yellowstone trip without my Hawkin system ready to go in the front seat of my truck. Well done Hawkin!

I LOVE my Hawkin! I was so excited that I got to try mine out in time for the first few Bearcats games, and let me tell you, I was not disappointed! I usually bring my binoculars to the stadium with me, but after a while I have to give up due to the weight of my binoculars putting strain on my arms. Let me tell you though, that issue TOTALLY goes away once you use a Hawkin! I was able to watch the entire game without feeling like I needed to give my arms a break, which was a first for me. I plan on keeping this in my car for the rest of the season so I don’t forget to bring it along!

Wow! Talk about a game changer! I recently took my Hawkin on a trip up to the Point Reyes area for the weekend, and it improved my entire experience by tenfold. I was on the lookout for harbor seals (saw several!) and snowy plovers, though I might have visited too late in the season as I didn’t see any. The entire time I was out and about, I never felt my arms start to hurt, which is usually a problem that puts a halt on my wildlife watching excursions. I will definitely be bringing my Hawkin out the next time I venture up to Point Reyes!

As a birder, I love spending as much time outdoors on the weekends as I can, but after a while, holding up my binoculars makes my arms and neck ache. When I say that using the Hawkin has completely eliminated 100% of the muscle pain I used to experience, I’m not kidding. I can bird for longer stretches of time now, and when I’m finished, it only takes me a few minutes to take apart my Hawkin and put it back in its pouch. If I could give this product more than 5 stars, I would.
