This is what I went for in the end.. KF Concept SA254T1 tripod.

Very sturdy, very adjustable, just right for my needs 

Hi, I just checked out your Instagram, you have some amazing shots on there.👍

Celestron skymaster 20x80 on a tripod and still have a pair of boots pacer 8x30 that I've had for about 40 years.

I use one of these with my Helios equivalent sized binoculars. Not too heavy and very stable and currently £129.  https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B088FQ2C8L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Review of the tripod here: https://www.northlight-images.co.uk/kf-concept-sa254t1-camera-tripod/  I have found you can use the transverse arm to give the binoculars steady, but the ball head at this angle will not prevent movement of the binoculars. You could remedy that my replacing the ball head. It does hold the binoculars fine when in the standard 'vertical' mode.

I've just ordered one of these, great reviews, 

Thanks for all your help 👍

I got a Manfrotto 028 Tripod on ebay a few years back  and it goes to over 7ft  There's currently one on sale with about 15 hours remaining

I was lucky that there were two similar auctions going on at the same time with about 5 minutes between their closing time - the first went for considerably more than the second, and I was bidding on the second one so paid less than £75. 

As a tripod it's intended for Studio use, but works well outside - very solid and rather heavy as a result. 

Thanks for the heads up 👍

Scrap that, I've just seen on YouTube.👍

Hi, quick question,

How do you attach the binoculars,

Mine already have a threaded whole like the base of a camera or will I need some sort of adapter?

Celestron skymaster 20x80.

Thanks for the suggestion 👍

Hi to a fellow Chelmsford newbie 👍

Hi everyone, I'm very new to this and I'm looking forward to getting all the help and information stored up in your wise and knowledgeable heads.😁

Hi all, I'm very new to this and would like some advice.

What is a good 6 foot + tripod for use with a pair of celestron skymaster 20x80 binos in the region of £200.

Thanks in advance.
