Learn More About the Paragon Plus Parallelogram Binocular Mount & Tripod

Is the Paragon Plus Parallelogram-Style Binocular Mount & Tripod Right for You?

The Paragon Plus Parallelogram-Style Binocular Mount and Tripod is a heavy-duty binocular mount and tripod that is perfect for night sky and outdoors enthusiasts looking for a solid foundation for their optics. The fluid smooth parallelogram style mount head and XHD tripod are a perfect pairing, making this combo especially great for large binoculars and spotting scopes. This mount and tripod is not an ideal option for users with larger optical systems, such as reflectors and refractor telescopes. It offers a fully manual design, which is great for tracking fast-moving targets, such as birds, meaning it's not an ideal choice for anyone looking for automated tracking.  

Why It Works

Designed to handle large binoculars with ease, the Paragon Plus Parallelogram-Style Binocular Mount & Tripod provides rock-solid support for your optics. The integrated parallelogram mount delivers smooth, controlled motion for precise tracking, while the adjustable aluminum legs ensure stable positioning on various terrains. It features tension adjustment on both axes for wonderfully smooth, controlled motion.
