Manfrotto Tripod,Fork & Parallelogram Mounts(Price reduction)

I'm offering up what I believe to be the ultimate light weight binocular viewing platform.
I built and put together this rig some years ago to mount a pair of APM 100mm Bino's. First I built the fork mount, then the timber Parallelogram mount.This combination easily handled the giant binoculars.

1: Swarovski 15x56 SLC HD binoculars SOLD

2: Manfrotto Triman Studio 028B geared head tripod.
Weight: 4kg. Min Height:800mm Max Height: 1.8-2.3M RRP: $780.00
My Price: $320.00 plus postage

3: Custom built fork mount. Built to carry large 100mm Binoculars.
Weight: 3.4kg (APM in Germany sells there fork mounts from $1150-1800)
My mount does the same functions as the APM's but for a far better price...
My price: $350.00 postage

4: Custom built recycled hardwood Parallelogram mount.
Using this mount, one can observe at zenith.
It takes 5.5kg in weight to counter balance the fork with the binoculars
Weight:5.6kg RRP: ? Metal ones start off at a few hundred dollars.
Sale does not include the counter weights. (dumbbell weights)
My Price: $350.00 plus postage

These 3 items should really be sold as a unit, so my price for all 3 would be
$700.00 plus postage.
