The Explore Scientific U-Mount and Tripod for BT 150 is purpose-built to provide the strength, stability, and smooth movement required for the massive Explore Scientific BT 150 Giant Binoculars. When your binoculars feature dual 150mm optical systems, a conventional binocular mount simply isn't designed for the job. This heavy-duty mounting system delivers the rigidity needed to securely support large binoculars while maintaining the smooth, precise motion essential for comfortable astronomical observing. Designed specifically for the BT 150, the U-Mount supports binoculars weighing up to 12 kg (26.5 lb) and accommodates widths up to 290 mm (11.4 in.). Infinitely adjustable friction controls on both the altitude and azimuth axes let you customize the feel of the mount, allowing you to easily track the Moon, planets, star clusters, and sweeping Milky Way vistas with smooth, controlled movement.
The included heavy-duty stainless steel tripod provides exceptional stability while minimizing vibration for sharper, more enjoyable views at higher magnifications. Adjustable from approximately 100 cm to 140 cm (39.4–55.1 in.), it offers comfortable observing whether seated or standing, while an integrated aluminum accessory tray keeps your eyepieces and accessories close at hand. Whether you're observing for a few minutes or spending an entire evening under the stars, the Explore Scientific U-Mount and Tripod gives your BT 150 the stable foundation it needs so you can focus on the view instead of supporting the equipment.
