Thanks for your reply Daniel. The tripod that I'm using is a Velbon Sherpa 250R. I was informed by the camera sales assistant that this tripod can handle 4kgs. I problem I have is the quick release plate is not strong enough to maintain a secure fitting and and any movement of the binoculars causes the release plate to become loose. I've already sheared one securing screw of the release plate trying to lock the binoculars into place. I emailed Orion and they informed me that a "Orion Paragon-Plus XHD" tripod is the way to go. Any thoughts on this tripod? Cheers.
