Thanks for clarifying.

I am looking for suggestions on a viable mount for a pair of large celestial binoculars used for Star gazing. I picked up a SkyView Pro equatorial tripod in FBMP and thought it would be a good starting point.

I haven't figured out a way to embed a YT video from my phone. On the PC, it's fairly simple, right click on the video and these days there's an "copy embed code" option (or something like that).

The preferred mount for large binoculars like that (for astronomy) is a parallelogram mount.

Oberwerk makes good stuff, but I'm sure there are less expensive models out there. This is just the first example that I saw in my google results.
