Personally, I think you are into overkill territory.

A binocular adapter you can get for a few bucks on Ebay.

For the tripod you want one with a handle that when rotated easily moves the central post up and down (as opposed to one where you unlock the central post and push it up and down by hand).

For me, even a $30 tripod does the job if it is relatively heavy (though there are some that are too light).

The next good option is a tripod with a fluid pan head for smooth panning (which you won't find in cheap tripods).

The panning handles of all my tripods always hits my chest, so I mount the binoculars backward and use the tripod with the panning handle aimed away from me (you soon get used to it).

You can then use the tripod in three ways.
1. With all three legs on the ground - the steadiest way, but hard to see overhead.

2. While seated on a stool, raise the central post and move the tripod back so that it rests on two legs - you can see much further overhead, and still have a steady view.

3. Just pick up the tripod and look through the binoculars. Not as steady as the previous two methods, but because of the extra weight, you get a much steadier view than that from hand holding the binoculars alone - and you can aim anywhere in the sky. I get relatively steady views even with 20X80 binoculars by hand holding the tripod.

Though, if you intend to use the tripod for other purposes (e.g video or with a small telescope) then you may well want to consider a better quality, heavier, more expensive tripod.
