I tried and failed with my first attempts at a mirror mount as described in an earlier post.I know I was using the wrong type of mirror but, the whole "watching the sky upside down in a mirror" experience wasn't as easy or as intuitive as I'd expected. The email pics from Don at Bintel kind of turned me back on to the parallelogram mount as a more viable option as it looks a lot more "Chunky" and useable than the website details would suggest. Yes it's a pricey little package ($300 for the parallelogram mount + $179 for the AZ3 tripod)but...
Actually there's no but!! It is pricey for a one trick pony (the tripod could be used to carry small scopes I suppose) - but (there's that word again) big binoculars must be comfortably mounted to get the most out of them.
My neck lets me know this fact often.
Many thanks for all the info
This is a great forum
Cheers
