Tripods & Mounts for Binoculars, Scopes & Monoculars

A stable tripod or mount is essential for getting the most out of your binoculars, spotting scopes, or monoculars. Whether you’re birdwatching, stargazing, or surveying landscapes, a reliable support system ensures steady, clear viewing with minimal vibration.

Our range includes lightweight travel tripods, robust full-size models, and specialist mounts designed for both straight and angled scopes. We also stock hide clamps and window mounts for flexible viewing from vehicles or hides, along with fluid heads for smooth and precise movement.

Each tripod and mount has been carefully selected for stability, ease of use, and durability which is perfect for nature enthusiasts, photographers, and professionals who need dependable performance in the field.

Woman using a Tripod Mount for Optical Equipment.

A tripod provides stability, reducing hand shake and allowing you to focus on fine details for longer periods. This is especially useful at higher magnifications, where even slight movement can distort the image. It also reduces fatigue, making long observation sessions more comfortable.

A tripod is a three-legged stand used to stabilise your optical device, while a mount refers to the attachment system that connects and allows movement (such as tilting and panning). Mounts can be fixed to tripods, windows, or hides, depending on your setup.

Choose a tripod that, when extended, allows you to view comfortably without bending or straining your neck. For angled scopes, you can use a slightly shorter tripod since the eyepiece is tilted upward, while straight scopes may require a taller one.
