I have a parallelogram binocular mount which I made out of square aluminium tubing. With the weight of the mount and binoculars you need a solid tripod with all metal fittings; plastic fittings are not stable enough. It works well but I never use it just for myself. Parallelogram mounts are designed for viewing by a group e.g kids and adults of various sizes so they can all view the same object with a simple swing up or down of the mount.
I don't have binoculars anywhere near as large as the ones you want. I have a pair of 9 x 63mm Orion Mini Giants which are fantastic. Maybe, test out one of the larger Orions. Whatever you buy, test it out first. You can tell straight away if they are miscollimated.
Good hunting!
