I have some large binoculars, Orion 10 x 70 MC Enhanced Giant, and they
are just too large to hold steady. I need a tripod I think. I was looking at
a small table top set up but thought I might be able to find a good used one
here. My main problem aside from the steady thing is that I am 6'6" and
tripods will not get the binoculars high enough for me when I am standing. I
had a camera tripod and placed it on the trunk of my car but it was too
wobbly for these 10x 70's. I decided that someone here may have an idea for
me. I plan to go look at Mars next weekend. Is there something more
effective I could build? I am handy with tools and could fabricate most
anything in my shop short of machine work or welding. TIA
