I have made a fixed length leg, timber mount and aluminium, head adjustable height U mount for my 15x70 and 16x60 binoculars.
The timber legs are braced by a timber accessory tray. The tray is vital to the stability of the tripod and mount and must be in position when the tripod and mount are assembled.
The clearance at its highest position under the binocular support bracket is 1750mm. The highest point at the same position is 2100mm from ground level. The horizontal distance from the binocular support point to vertical pivot point is 800mm. This mount is on the large side.
This is a mount to be assembled and left in a backyard or a permanent observing site. It cannot be quickly dissembled and assembled. Once fully assembled it can be easily moved about by one person.
The reasons that I put it for sale are: I don't have large backyard and I also have a similar but smaller mount on an surveyors aluminium tripod.
This is a "must" inspect before purchasing.
Asking price is $200.00
Thanks for looking.
George
