Stargazing with binoculars is an idyllic pleasure. All the more so with our Paragon-Plus Binocular Mount. It's a parallelogram-style mount that comes complete with our sturdiest professional field tripod, the rock-solid Paragon-Plus XHD (less pan head), for one very attractive price. The mount's silky smooth motion provides relaxing views for hours on end with binoculars as large as 80mm in aperture. It eliminates arm strain and shakiness, and allows you to aim your binocular high overhead, even to the zenith, while you stand or sit comfortably underneath. Ahhh! No more arm and shoulder strain from holding up those big binos for extended views! What's more, you can raise and lower the attached binocular while staying fixed on a target, a wonderful feature when two or more people of varying height are observing together. A great way for the whole family to enjoy stable views through a great pair of astronomical binoculars. Solidly constructed of aluminum, the mount features a sliding counterweight for perfect balance and an L-adapter for attaching virtually any tripod adaptable binoculars. The maximum binocular height is 7-feet 7-inches, and the minimum height is 2-feet 7-inches. The tripod and binocular mount each come fully assembled. The XHD tripod features leg locks and graduated leg markings for quick , easy, and conveniently repeatable setup in the field. One-year limited warranty.
