Tripod for Binoculars

[Maxl]

I just got Celesteon's 15x70 binoculars and they seem great, but sadly I haven't been able to use them for astronomy yet due to the weather. I was wondering what a good but cost effective tripod would be for them. Thank you.

You could consider getting a monopod with trigger-grip ball-head. Very versatile and can be quite affordable. Makes for a much shorter set-up time.

+1 for the above. It is what I use with my 15x70's. Got it off Amazon for about £45 for both items. You need a good thick monopod to prevent wobble. The 7 Day one extends and is beefy too.

And not a wobbly one like the plastic thing that came with my first (Celestron) 15x70s. You can improve these by super-gluing two M6 or so bolts into the groove in the plastic on either side, but a solid metal L-bracket is not expensive, and a good investment
