It appears to be aluminum. This is a very well made tripod and would say that it is heavy enough to hold your binocular. It is easy to use and is very stable.

I believe the head that connects to the camera is plastic. There are aluminum parts, but the main portion is good quality plastic. The remainer of the mechanism is plastic.

Metal. Some of the other parts are plastic and it helps with keeping the lens weight down. Excellent lens.

the frame is Aluminum. I don't know for sure but empty, the drag(pulling weight) is negligible.

The part that wraps around the metal ball head is plastic. It it were made out of metal, it would be too heavy for my monopod.

We are using the head for a Kowa spotting scope that weighs 1520g (53.6oz). Its a good head for that weight.

Legs are aluminum..top heavy plastic. I bought an open box one...it was perfect..still in original internal wrap. Cost a fraction of new and not damaged at all.

Both screws on this mono-pod are plated steel. The main tubes look to be aluminum. It works very well with my movie and SLR with a long lenses. I am typically working from the bleachers and I use the mono-pod at reduced height. It really increases the stability. I recommend it.

It is aluminum and weighs 4.4 lbs. Very versatile tripod. Good bang for the buck.

It is a metal stand. I am guessing aluminum. Except the little plastic cushions on the legs nothing else is plastic. I am very happy with it.

It appears to be stainless steel. I believe it is a combo of both. It is pretty heavy for aluminum. It length is 10". The width of heads are 2 3/8"wide. One is flat and other side is ridged with raised multi-points. This was an excellent purchase and I have used the heck out of it. I wish the ridge part was a little deeper. It feels very secure and balanced when using it.

this are reflectors, all of the structure is aluminum. The reflectors attach to the aluminum frame

I mount the celestron skymaster 15x70 on this tripod. It is very sturdy and would probably handle something heavier if I needed it to. The weakest link in the system was the tripod adapter that came with the binoculars. They are made of flimsy plastic. Which was easily fixed with some quick setting putty - http://www.loctiteproducts.com/p/13/6/epxy_putty/overview/Loctite-Repair-Putty-Multi-Purpose.htm

Mine were aluminum, and very well built. You should note the seller so that others can avoid being ripped off.

It's metal, but the problem is the screws going into the head come loose constantly so you have to take the head apart to tighten them. If you don't have a hex wrench on you, you're screwed.

It is fairly light, so I would suspect it is aluminum or an aluminum alloy.

The tripod is much more heavy duty than the picture shows. I'm using it with a 20 x 80 pair of binoculars. I believe that this is well suited for the binoculars you are looking at. I am very happy with the item.
