Orion Paragon-Plus Binomount - suitable for stable photo tripods
Mount suitable for binoculars up to approx. 2.5 kg or up to 80 mm aperture
The Orion Paragon-Plus Binomount keeps binoculars up to approx. 2.5 kg in weight perfectly balanced. They can be tilted from the horizon to the zenith without any problems. This significantly increases your observing comfort. Be surprised by the actual resolution of your binoculars when the target object is observed calmly, without trembling.
The advantages of the Orion Paragon Binomount keeps binoculars up to 80 mm aperture perfectly balanced includes L-adapter for attaching binoculars to the central thread can be combined with any good photo tripod with 3/8" photo thread (see product recommendations)
Astronomical Observations
The Paragon Binomount is ideal for astronomy, gone is the tiring and shaky stargazing or the eternal problems of panning to the zenith when the view is only a few centimetres from a tripod leg. Swing the glass to the target without effort, let it go and observe in a relaxed manner.
The Construction
The Binomount is solidly constructed, all parts are of course made of metal and the slide bearings allow free panning without effort. At the base, the Binomount has a 3/8" tripod thread and thus fits practically all good photo tripods.
Use of the Paragon Plus Binomount
Mounting binoculars
Simply remove the protective screw between the lenses of your binoculars to reveal a 1/4" internal thread. This is exactly where the L-bracket screw fits in. After that, all you need to do is balance it by moving the counterweight and you´re ready to go.
The attachment of binoculars with integrated tripod adapter
The L-holder is intended for binoculars with a tripod connection thread on the central axis. Larger binoculars with 80mm aperture already have an integrated tripod adapter. A specially shaped holder is available for these binoculars.
Practical observation with the Binomount - sitting or standing
Decide whether you want to observe sitting or standing, the Binomount immediately adapts to your wishes, within seconds you have the desired observation height.

"It looks good on top of my very stable photo tripod. But I am a bit dissapointed by the design. When the moon is low in the horizon it is not possible to look at it using the Orion Paragon Plus Binomount because it is designed to point more upwards and there is a metal stop, so you cannot look lower than approximately 10-13 degrees. When the moon is low I have to tip the hole tripod and mount and this totally destroys the purpose of buying the mount! The mount is made of Iron and to the heavy side. I would have preferred aluminium. All in all I am not impressed by the design and amazed that the designers dit not make the design better."

"Bin begeistert. Im Gegensatz zur Freihändigen Beobachtung, eine hundertprozentige Verbesserung. Die Montierung ist hochwertig und holt das Optimum aus meinen Ferngläsern raus ( 15x70 und 8x56 ) "
