Thank you for your inqury. This tripod would work very well with those binoculars: http://www.amazon.com/Orion-5373-Large-Tritech-Tripod/dp/B0000XMYOC/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1402099931&sr=8-8&keywords=orion+tripod.

you must use the adapter that comes with the binocs. Using this you can attach any standard tripod or monopod like I use.

You Ned a sturdybtripod matched to the weight of the scope. A video tripod with the longer handle works best

I am using the Really Right Stuff TVC-33 and a Wemberly gimble head. The tripod is heavy enough for my 800 mm lens also but not excessively heavy for short carrying in the field. I like the variable leg endings for rock placement and it still will reduce in height for macro pics in the field.

Hey Barbara,I would definitely try one a little sturdier. I have this one now on a lighter Nikon (D7000) and primarily use a smaller lens (18-105) and I think it is about at capacity and maybe a little under-qualified. Just one man's opinion but I think something more robust would suit your very nice set up better.

What Jack said; you can get adapters and tripods from Orion themselves, or try a standard camera tripod that you may already have.

Hi, Bought one for our 10x50 binoculars and it works well. A little ackward at first but an affordable approach to using a tripod to stabilize things. Hope this helps.

It's sturdy enough, but as a non-video photographer I don't know that this style of tripod would be the best for panning or following action. And as one of the others mentioned, it is kind of heavy.

CELESTRON sells an inexpensive tripod for these binoculars at their main site. See the tripods at : http://www.celestron.com/browse-shop/astronomy/astronomy-binoculars/skymaster-20-100x70-zoom-binocular Its the main web site for CELESTRON binoculars. Its the Tripod, Photographic and Video item #93606 for $34.95 but appears to need the binocular tripod adaptor for $15.95

I believe there is a mini tripod available you can purchase but it would too narrow for a traditional tripod

Tripod is fine. Monopod you're risking shaky footage. Image is incomparable, but I use the 24-105 IS if I have to do handheld or monopod work.

Thanks for asking.... I'd have a sturdier tripod for any/all telephoto lens. Just not good enough. The extra weight makesthe tripod "slide" downward.

Yes you are correct. Its the RAVELLI AVTP Pro 75mm Tripod. Im not sure if you are looking at buying one, or who you are. Its a good tripod, mine was just a flawed unit. Only used it a handful of times and so many things broke on it. So food for thought.

The tripod is ver light wt and I do not believe it will hold up well in the long run. It is stable in a closed area with my Cannon ESO Rebel T5i attached. I have not used it much, prefer to use another heaver tipod. I do not recommend it as a primary tipod.

I use a monopod. It carries the weight of the binoculars, allowing you to focus while only having to hold the horizontal position steady. I prefer this solution to the tripod.

I would recommend a sturdy tripod with heavy duty head, or something similar. I've used this with my regular tripod and fluid head and it worked, but it was not sturdy. I eventually got a heavy duty speaker stand and custom made a mount for it with hardware from Lowe's. Although the jib crane is not that heavy, by the time you get the counter balances (I used small 2 and 5 lb weights for exercise) on and are moving the thing around it needs a strong base.

Yes, I have, but you want a very sturdy tripod, as the camera and the pack and a lens adds a lot of weight.
