Yes, I came across to them through Cloudy Nights, but order from Ukraine;
I don't know. Got some funny reply from them.....

Sirius in Brisbane sell this one: http://www.sirius-optics.com.au/orion-paragon-plus-binocular-mount-without-tripod.html

Not sure if there are Orion suppliers near you.

They are easy enough to make if you are a woodworker (mine is home-made and works well: even for my 25x100's), or even using square steel tubing, and there are a lot of designs out there...
