Built to accommodate the oversized BT series binoculars, the U-Mount with Tripod from Explore Scientific
can hold binoculars weighing up to 26.5 lb with a maximum width of
11.4". With legs of steel and a head of aluminum, the tripod and mount
are sturdy and smooth for comfortable, long-distance observation. It was
designed with ease of use in mind, from the twin, sliding 1/4"-20
screws set in a quick-change adapter plate to the large size of the
knobs for securing the adapter plate and for positioning the binoculars
along the horizontal and vertical axes.
The unit allows for full
360° panning ability and 90° of upward tilt. Together, the tripod and
mount weigh 12.8 lb and have a variable use height of between 3.3 to 4.6
ft. The unit's travel size is 2.6 ft.
