Celestron 71008 SkyMaster 25 x 70 Binoculars

[Philk_80]

Hi

 

Ive been fortunate to get a pair of Celestron 25x70 bins and wanted to ask what kind of tripod do you guys suggest?

Ive seen a Manfrotto 190xprob with a 804RC2 pan tilt head but unsure if this would suit as reading it seems it wouldn’t go above 30 degrees?

 

Any advice or pics appreciated

I use a monopod with a trigger grip ball joint and it gives me most positions I need for viewing.

I have a pair of Pentax WP 20x70 binoculars that I use on this tripod and ball joint mount from Amazon. The quality is great and it’s very reasonably priced

I ‘ve settled for two options for mounting my binoculars. Firstly,  a triangular, tubular, aluminium frame with bicycle grips on the bottom and the bins mounted at the apex.

The second option is to mount the bins on a homemade mirror-mount. This is the ultimate in viewing comfort.
