Sorry for the bump, but I have yet another mount question. After a couple more viewing sessions and frustration with the tripod, I'm seriously considering taking the plunge with a nicer mount set up. Right now,
this one looks pretty good, as it seems to be a good price for both the tripod and the head. It also sustains weight up to ~13 lbs which is clearly excessive for my little 9X60s, but would sustain the weight of a
larger binocular that I will inevitably buy in the near future. So I want a mount set up that will work well with my current 9X60s, providing smooth and steady movement, and I also want to get something that will sustain a larger binocular later on.
1) Can I mount my current 9X60's on this using my metal "L adapter"?
2) I've read that a 13 lb limit will not necessarily support 13 lbs of binocular due mostly to the awkward weight distribution that comes from binocular mounting, will this setup work for, say, a 10lb binocular?
3) Am I going to notice much of a difference with my current 9x60s, or am I getting a bit overzealous? I have a habit of getting really excited about this sort of thing and spending way too much!
