If I had a stick in front of me that was free moving forward and back and fixed to deck, I could hold this against myself and continue my sway. So I become the stabilizer. If this was binos and could also pivot at the head - perhaps a steady view could be achieved.

That is what I figure also.

the crewman is leaning against the pedestal and can keep the UZO aimed at the horizon just by standing up or crouching down. Since a boat will usually head into waves, side motion should not normally be a factor. Should be fairly easy to keep the image level, except in rough seas.
