Parallelogram mount !
I love to use binoculars, and have many from Oberwerk. I need to call them up as my 25x100 and 20x80’s need some servicing.
My favorites right now are my Explore Scientific BT-120’s. These are “giant” binoculars. I also love the parallelogram style of mount, but had to find one big enough for these monsters.
I ended up purchasing this mount from Italy, which is “perfect” for giant binoculars. The Geoptic Pantograph Binoplus:
This unique parallelogram mount perfectly balances these Giant Binoculars.

I got started by “borrowing” my dad’s binoculars, when I was about 12. I used them on the moon and some star clusters until I could afford to buy my own telescope. Now I have three telescopes and two pairs of binoculars.

You just need to get Binoculars that have 45 or 90 degree viewing. Usually only giant binoculars have that…

An old observing buddy of mine had a set of those on a parallelogram mount . So cool for wide field viewing .
