Stargazing with binoculars is an idyllic pleasure. All the more so with Orion’s Paragon-Plus Binocular Mount. This parallelogram-style mount’s silky smooth motion provides relaxing viewing for hours on end with binoculars as large as 80mm in aperture. It eliminates arm strain and shakiness, and allows you to aim your binocular high overhead, even to the zenith, while you stand or sit comfortably underneath. Ahhh! What’s more, you can raise and lower the binoculars while staying fixed on a target, a wonderful feature when two or more people are observing together. Solidly constructed of aluminum, the mount features a sliding counterweight for perfect balance and an L-adapter for attaching virtually any tripod-adaptable binoculars. Any binocular with at least 1 3/8″ (35mm) of space around the tripod adapter port will work with this heavy-duty binocular mount. Maximum binocular height is 7′ 7″. The tripod and binocular mount each come fully assembled. For use with Orion 80mm Astro-Binoculars, adapter (7589) is required to couple the binocular’s integrated 1/4″-20 post to the binocular mount. Compatible with virtually any heavy-duty field tripod (without pan head) that has 1/4″ or 3/8″ threaded post. Mount comes fully assembled. Weighs 12.6 lbs.

Product description

Resolux binoculars are our new favorite astro binoculars (and equally superb for long-distance daytime viewing), combining high-resolution, flat-field optics with rugged mechanical construction and the strict JTII spec for collimation. They are fully waterproof, and nitrogen purged to prevent internal lens fogging. The BAK-4 prisms and advanced multi-coatings on all optical surfaces really drink in the light. The eyepieces focus individually, and with 18mm or more of eye relief on each model, even eyeglass wearers will see the full field of view. The Resolux’s all-metal housing is armored with thick rubber to ensure a secure, comfortable grip. Each binocular comes with tethered lens caps, heavy-duty tripod adapter, and neck strap. The 50mm models include a padded soft carrying case. Two-year limited warranty.

From the Manufacturer

15-power astronomical binoculars with a rugged housing provide high-resolution views with a pleasing flat-field. Fully waterproof and nitrogen purged construction prevents lens fogging. High-quality BAK-4 prisms and advanced multi-coatings on all optical surfaces provide maximum light throughput for bright views rich in contrast. The high-power 15×70 Resolux binoculars have a nice 4.4-degree field of view for big views. Attachment to a tripod with the included tripod adapter is recommended for extended use

Orion’s Mini Giants really hit the sweet spot for astronomy binoculars. They grab more light than a 50mm glass yet they don’t have the weight or bulk of larger, giant binoculars. This high-power model will please anyone desiring extra magnification for closer, more detailed images than standard binoculars permit. Suddenly, more star clusters resolve into stellar pinpoints, lunar craters burst with geologic fine-detail, and the Andromeda Galaxy reveals more of its core and dust lane structure! The lenses and high-grade BAK-4 prisms are fully multi-coated to permit the highest light transmission possible. The aluminum barrels are internally glare-threaded to ensure rich contrast and eliminate ghosting. Images are sharp, bright, and wonderfully vivid. For the truly power-hungry, this binocular’s combination of sky-eating 63mm objective lenses and 15x magnification translate to high-definition viewing that is up close and personal. Whether you’re panning for astronomical gold or spying on twilight activities at the bird sanctuary, the resolving power of this model will show you things you’ve never before glimpsed. It’s got eye lenses nearly 1 inch wide, long 19mm eye relief, ample 4.2mm exit pupil, and a 3.7 degree field. Its relatively compact size allows this Orion Mini Giant 15×63 binocular to be hand-held comfortably for short viewing stints. That applies to daytime use as well. For extended gazes, especially with the two high-power models, you’ll want to tripod-mount the binocular for steady images. Smooth rubber armoring provides a secure grip. A large, knurled center focus wheel, pop-down rubber eye guards, and threaded socket for optional tripod adapter round out the feature set. This Orion Mini Giant comes with a hard case, deluxe wide neck strap, and lens caps.
