A commercially-available chair is mounted on a rotatable platform. A U-shaped binocular mount is pivotally attached to either side of the chair to permit rotation between a first position in which binoculars received in the binocular mount are substantially in front of a person seated in the chair to a second position in which such binoculars are substantially over the head of the person. Counterweights on each end of the binocular mount offset the weight of the binoculars. The binocular mount is also slidable along its axis to permit movement of the binoculars toward and away from the face of a person in the chair. And binoculars in the binocular mount may pivot around an axis substantially through the binoculars. Platform rotation is accomplished with a battery-powered motor.
