Anyone Try This Tripod

#1

Post by Refractordude »


The manufacturer claims 15 pounds capacity, which is more then enough. What I like about it is the height. I will be using it for my 7x50 and 8x40 binoculars. It has some pretty good Amazon reviews. Right click the image.

The majority of the reviews I read stated it was good for in studio (mostly sitting stationary)
A tripod will work fine with your binoculars the issue usually comes when trying to look higher in the sky which requires you too be standing against the tripod.
This is why parallelograms are favoured so you can look up and avoid hitting the tripod.
There are plans online to make cheap/ stable binocular mounts if you want to try making your own.
