Works with Skymaster 15x70
17 September 2021  | 

I needed a tripod to hold my Celestron Skymaster 15x70 binoculars. Since I'd already spent a fair amount on a telescope and mount I couldn't spend too much or else my wife would stop speaking to me. I was a bit nervous at first since I'd read that going for cheaper tripods with heavy binoculars is a recipe for disappointment due to shakiness but I took the plunge on this model and I am glad I did.
First class service from FLO (my third order and top notch service each time). The tripod was with me in two days and for the first time I was able to open the package and use my purchase without letting lots of clouds out of the box.
The tripod seems sturdy enough and in use it has performed just fine. Things are nice and stable with the 15x70s on top. Panning is nice and smooth with the adjustable tension and I was pleasantly surprised with how high the binoculars can sit since I was worried that the 156cm height would lead to me getting a sore back from stooping. Not the case since I reckon there's at least an extra 10 cm with the tripod adaptor (came with the binoculars) attached. Even better, with the legs extended there is plenty of room to tuck a chair under and sit and enjoy the view. I'm really pleased with the purchase and for sure it's going to get a lot of use.
