Orion Paragon Binocular Mount Binoculars User Said:

I bought Orion Paragon Binocular Mount Binoculars to use binoculars in astronomy. I was aware that I jiggle a lot, but until I began using this mount I didn’t know just how much. I use 7 x 35 and 15 x 70 binoculars with the mount. The 7 x 35 binocular is so light that you have to use the control knobs to hold it in place. The 15 x 70s will balance. I have found that , when balanced, I can use two of the control knobs as clutches and pan vertically and horizontally at the same time. When I tighten one and release the mount, I have about a second of jiggle before returning to calm. You will find the finger saving bumper between the arms to be a blessing - thanks Orion. I am over six feet tall and I can easily get my binoculars directly overhead while standing. The mount is heavy and needs a good tripod such as the Orion XHD. Orion Tech Support told me that a well made 20 x 80 is the maximum load for this mount so, I expect that to be my next purchase. If you spend a lot of astronomy time with binoculars, you really need this Orion Paragon Binocular Mount Binoculars.
