If you can “convert” the eq mount to an Alt-Az mount and balance the binos with sufficient counter weights, you might find some usefulness in the slow motion controls. The conversion would require the RA shaft to be set to 0 degrees altitude, as if you were observing on the equator.

Even if this were possible, the DEC shaft may then foul the tripod?

Cheers
