mbaddah & chris..aoe are no longer in business..the 190 tripod will be ok to hold the binos (i used one before) but you may want to upgrade the head..fluid is easiest like a 501 or even 700 may be OK..andrews sell a series 3000 tripod & head, which is the same as garret optical series 3000 (check the US website which has pics)..they are quite sturdy & will handle an 80mm scope easily, even small 100mm binos

i also agree 10x what chris says about quality/decent gear..it doesn't mean you have to sped squillons - the ultras i have (10x50) & had 15x70 are terrific for the price ( i now have 16x70 fujinon's).
I have celestron regals - their top of the line bino, and they are excellent, but some of their items leaves a bit to be desired - i have looked thru some disappointing glass
