Hi,
I bought a pair of 25X100 bins and made a tripod similar to a camera tripod,only larger.
I made it out of 12 mm and 15 mm light square tube. and some round.
Total cost $30 dollars. It works well and is not too bad to lug around.
I found it difficult with any tripod or pillar to view nearly straight up with bins. If you like, I can send photos and sizes.
Cheers
