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 use this with a Canon 7D. It's very well balanced with a camera on it. My tripod is a Manfrotto 055CXPRO3 but I think just about any tripod above the cheap lower priced models would suffice.

Sorry for the late response. I was out of town. You don't want anything too heavy or it will not balance well as the counter weights are not that heavy. Smaller quick re lease plates will do the trick or get one of those small tripod heads that is used for basic photography.

I would say that if you find it worthless, you must very high expectations for the price.I know that there are better tripods out there but not for that price.I have no connection or nothing to gain, I work in construction not photography.I wonder what your motive is?

Good question. You can get one for 12 dollars from B & H . I didnt see one on Amazon, but if you type "magnus vt 300 quick release" on the internet, you may find a cheaper price. Hope this helps. Otherwise, this tripod only comes with one quick release plate and its a hard cardboard and hard plastic plate that may not fit other items.

Check out this video on youtube. All the tripods are pretty similar. You just have to play with it :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfGblSGuHsA

Any standard tripod will work but a sturdy one is preferred because of the lens size and weight of the camera. If you buy a light weight tripod you will just have to support the weight a little more and it will be harder to take low light or long exposure shots

I have found it works well for me. I love it. I do recommend a tripod for stability, not as many blurred pictures due to shaky hands.

Sure will.I bought an hour ago the Polaroid 72 inch tripod for 39 bucks. Bought two. Take a look at those also.Good luck D

Great idea. Wish I didn't need a tripod, though. I guess I'll have to decide whether I really want to do a lot of macro work. Thanks!

A medium duty tripod, with right angle adaptor, will suffice. For a larger investment, check out the Orion "Paragon-Plus" binocular mounting system, which will hold a binocular up to 5 lbs very securely at any angle. The minimalist anwer would be a monopod with angle adaptor, which is both lighter and much less expensive.

I'm using a Manfrotto 808RC4 with this tripod, and it's a great combination. I like the Manfrotto MBAG90PN case too. It's a tight fit with the head on the tripod but it works fine ! It's all a great system !

Sima quick release, about $14 bucks. Works great.Copy and paste the link below:Sima SVR Quick Connect for Tripod

Any camera tripod will work, BUT be very careful threading the bolt into the recorder - it is plastic and easily stripped out. This is a major design defect of this otherwise excellent recorder.

hi, i experimented with several tripods before settling on a manfrotto but what I remember about this specific tripod was that it was lightweight, would not be able to handle support a DSLR with long lens and when full extended approx. 4' making it more unstable. Good price and rig for a smaller camera but did not make me feel confident. Also the action on the head did not have near the fluidity i require. hope this helps.

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.

Yes, I got this and it works great. Note&gt; the tripod broke off at base due to to thin machining. but works altho flimsy. other than that I have no complaints. don't count on a great tripod!!!
