Hi Mary,
I'd consider this tripod:

I'm not sure how well it would work with binoculars though, you'd need some
kind of L-bracket. Googled around a bit and came up with this:

Alternately, I have a Vixen Porta II mount and like it a lot...but I
haven't found a way to use it with binoculars yet...

I'm trying to figure this out for a new travel scope. Hypothetical scope
and accessories below.
Suppose one has a 7+ lb telescope ready to go (this includes the
accessories such as
diagonal, 2" eyepiece, and finder scope). I have a couple of sturdy
tripods and head in mind, but this is an investment. So, without spending
more than $500, what tripod and head should I consider for the proper pound
carrying capacity for both tripod and head? Want to use tripod for 15x70
Resolux binoculars also. (wt. about 5.7 lbs)
Thank you in advance. 🔭
