You move quietly from object to object, without everything sinking or feeling heavy. Your binoculars stay perfectly balanced, so you can truly enjoy the starry sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In balance, so more control<\/strong><br>Large binoculars are heavy. You notice this immediately on an ordinary tripod head. Thanks to the counterweight, the weight is distributed neatly. The pressure on the tripod head decreases and your binoculars stay exactly where you point them. This keeps the image stable and under control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Omegon-Verrekijkermontering-met-contragewicht-1.jpg\" alt=\"Omegon Binocular Mount side view with 45\u00b0 binocular holder and metal mounting plate\" class=\"wp-image-94457\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Floating through the sky<\/strong><br>The 45\u00b0 binocular holder provides a natural viewing angle. This provides comfortable viewing, especially with objects higher in the sky. No more struggling with inclined positions. Moving feels light and smooth, almost as if your binoculars are floating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fits your existing tripod<\/strong><br>No need to buy a new tripod. You simply place this mount on top of your current tripod. The Arca-Swiss rail is a standardized system with a width of 41 mm. Many tripod heads are compatible with it. Just attach it and you're done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Omegon-Verrekijkermontering-met-contragewicht.jpg\" alt=\"Omegon Binocular mount mounted on tripod with counterweight rod in balance position\" class=\"wp-image-94458\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Flexible and practical<\/strong><br>Any binocular with a tripod thread fits the L-rail.
