I have a pair of Celestron SkyMaster 15x70 Binoculars which comes with a tripod adapter. Would I be able to use this tripod?

Oh yes this is the tripod I bought for both my Celestron 15 x 70 & 25 x 70 it works awesome and its very reasonably priced. This tripod can hold any weight within 6 lbs or less. However I recommend you to buy this tripod adapter because its stronger and made of metal and also will not cause any vibration; http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BYH8EQ/ its just under $10.00

I was able to fit in my smaller eyepieces in the adapter. There is a knurled screw that will hold the eyepiece in place. I've also found that it isn't designed to be used as a primary focus adapter unless you have a low profile focuser. Has anyone been able to find any larger eyepieces that will fit in the adapter?

Weight wise yes it will hold and for extra stability there is a hook in the lower middle that you can attach a small weight to to help keep more movement down even more. Skymaster also carries the binocular mount that you will want to use. Several companies make them so shop around if you like. Skymasters was just under $16. The binocular mount is very different from the photo piece that comes with the tripod but it will just be a matter of a flip of a switch to remove the photo screw in then insert your binocular insert to the same area. I would recommend that you always attach the piece to your binoculars first before locking on place into the tripod.

I never used a tripod with this. But on the bottom of the binoculars near the front is a threaded opening that looks to be designed for a tripod.

With an adapter that is available thru Amazon and others, most any tripod that will accept a camera. You can't attach these without the adapter. It is an L shaped piece of metal that attaches to the front of the binoculars and then to the tripod. Hope this helps.

Judging from the pictures of an AstroMaster 70, I would say so. You could mount it right over the top of the tripod to minimize any balance issues.

Could help me. ?? I have an EOS 7D Canon and I need a Adapter to a Nextar 4 SE Celestron. What do I need to buy?.

I use a monopod. It carries the weight of the binoculars, allowing you to focus while only having to hold the horizontal position steady. I prefer this solution to the tripod.

Hi, It should adapt to any 75mm bowl tripod, though as this is a fairly hefty unit, the tripod should be also. Mine is attached to a Takahashi FC telescope tripod via the Manfrotto 325N Video Head Adapter Bowl as a mount for using 70mm astronomical binoculars for star gazing. Very stable mount with smooth operation.

Yes. You will need at least one pair of eyepieces of the same type to use the binos.

Don't know, for your reference, I used it for a Celestron Omni XLT 150 with mount and tripod.

Yes it is. However, I highly recommend that you replace it with the BARSKA binocular tripod adapter. The BARSKA adapter is made of metal and will help reduce, but not totally eliminate all vibration. The Celestron adapter is made of plastic or resin. I have several of the BARSKA adapters and they have helped a great deal. If this is your first set of astro binoculars, please consider a heavy tripod as well. It will make night sky viewing that much more pleasurable. Take a look at the Orion Paragon XHD tripod. It has a very good fluid head. You can always add a heavy "bean bag" type of weight from the center column of the tripod to assist vibration dampening.

I have an old tripod I found at a garage sale, and the binoculars work on it just fine, so I'm guessing it will work. If your tripod #93606 will work with other brands of cameras or telescopes, then it should work. The screw thats on your tripod is the standard thread pitch that almost all cameras and devices are made to adapt to. I doubt that your bipod is different. Just be sure your tripod is good and sturdy. These are big binoculars. Also read reviews about how to adjust your binoculars if you get them. I had to adjust mine but it was super easy as long as you have a Phillips screwdriver. Otherwise you may see double through them.

You could but they are really heavy and would be difficult to hold on target by hand. You'll want some kind of mount like a tripod or a monopod. I've had aircraft fly through my field of view while looking at the stars and was able to follow it along. If you mean looking at them when they are high in the sky, you'll want some kind of parallelogram mount so you can get "under" the binoculars. There are probably binoculars out there that are better suited though. I had no collimation problems with mine.

It should if your binoculars is capable of/equipped for mounting on a tripod. Most binoculars & cameras are so equipped. I even use this mount with my camera for taking pictures.

yes it should, its universal to celestron telescopes..Im looking at mine now, and it seems to be universal, did you get your t-ring...the t-ring will allow the camera to be attached. I know I forgot the t-ring when I got my adaptor..My telescope is the C8, so it should work.. let me know, but get the t-ring, it goes by camera model.. Like mine is a Cannon, so I had to get a Cannon t-ring that attaches to the adapter...it also only works if your able to remove your leses from your camera, there is another mount that you can use if your using a point and shoot camera.. most sincerely,Lizzy

Thank you for your inqury. This tripod would work very well with those binoculars: http://www.amazon.com/Orion-5373-Large-Tritech-Tripod/dp/B0000XMYOC/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1402099931&sr=8-8&keywords=orion+tripod.
