{"product_id":"bresser-binoculars-sliding-mount","title":"Bresser Sliding Mount for Binoculars","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Bresser Slider binocular mount, with its revolutionary design, offers unprecedented comfort when observing the night sky with binoculars.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe variable extension length of the two support rails (crossbars), the gimbal mounting head and various adjustable slip couplings mean that almost all binocular positions can be effortlessly adjusted. The binoculars then remain in the respective position thanks to the counterweights. During observation, it is usually not necessary to touch the binoculars themselves and regardless of whether you want to observe while standing, sitting on a swivel chair or lying on a sleeping mat or lounger, everything is possible. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mount also represents an interesting alternative to normal tripod solutions for wheelchair users, where a tripod leg is usually always in the way. A steady view can be seen despite using larger binoculars. Normally at high magnification and medium-weight binoculars weighing 500 grams or more can be difficult, especially during longer observation periods because after just a short time,  your arms get tired and trying to maintain a steady view is almost impossible. A high photo tripod with a 360deg ball joint can certainly make a significant improvement but this solution is sometimes limited in terms of the freedom of movement of the binoculars and the position of the observer.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bresser Slider binocular mount offers far more options here and means that almost all desired binocular positions can be reached effortlessly. The patented design with 2 counter-rotating support rails (traverses) is guided on special linear roller bearings inside the mount head with virtually no play. This allows the observer to vary the extension length as desired with little muscle power. The sliding resistance can be continuously adjusted using 2 adjustment screws. In the middle of the center of gravity of the slider mount there is an axis with an adjustable slip clutch for the tilt and rotation movement. All bearings work absolutely smoothly and without play. For quick leveling, there is even a 30mm fluorescent circular bubble level in the mount base, which is easy to read even in the dark. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Gimbal mount head:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe gimbal mount head works in a similar way to a ball head. However, it offers a significantly higher load capacity and more stability. Here, too, the sliding resistance of all moving parts can be adjusted to suit the respective needs. The mount head has several mounting holes for mounting a binocular holder using a 1\/4 inch photo screw or a standard GP prism clamp for mounting small telescopes. There are also various holes on the side walls of the mount head for additional accessories such as red light reading lamps, smartphone holders for using Sky apps such as 'Stellarium' or LED viewfinders for quickly targeting celestial objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBalancing weights:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeveral balancing weights enable the binoculars or telescope to be precisely balanced. 2 counterweights each weighing 2.5 kg, 1.25 kg and 0.5 kg are included with the mount and can be attached to the mounting bolts on both sides at the rear end of the mount. The weights are secured to the bolts using the 2 spring tensioners included. Instead of counterweights, a filled sandbag can be attached to the existing mounting hook. This procedure reduces the transport weight for planned excursions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSuitable for binoculars weighing up to 3.5 kg:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Bresser slider mount can be used with binoculars weighing up to 3.5kg. But it is also very beneficial for much smaller binoculars too by obtain blur-free images during long-term observations. The mount is made using an optionally available binocular tripod adapter, which is attached to the mount head using a 1\/4 inch photo thread screw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTripod connection:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe appropriate tripod adapter for using the optionally available Bresser stainless steel tripod ST-3 is already included in the scope of delivery of the slider mount. This converts the standardized large 3\/8-inch photo tripod thread (internal thread) in the base of the slider mount into a metric M10 thread. This means that after dismantling the adapter, a stable standard photo or video tripod with 3\/8-inch threaded bolts can also be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/OW1MEjMvBBo\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSee instruction video here \u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpec:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBresser Slider binocular mount without tripod\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnables comfortable and fatigue-free binocular observations\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse for landscape and sky observation\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShake-free and steady images during the day and at night\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlmost limitlessly rotatable and pivotable gimbal mount head\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarries binoculars and telescopes up to 3.5 kg weight\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVarious observer positions are possible: standing, sitting and lying down\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso a practical alternative to a photo tripod for wheelchair users\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions when assembled using the Bresser Steel Telescope Tripod: 125 x 35 x 180 cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal weight of mounting head including accessories: 14.5kg \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight of mounting head: 6kg\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge 30 mm fluorescent bubble level in the mount base\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting holes for additional optional accessories available\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeveral balancing weights included: 2x 2.5kg, 2x 1.25kg, 2x 0.5kg\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable slip clutches on all moving axes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll surfaces are high-quality painted, powder-coated or anodized\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecise small series production - made in the EU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhats included:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eSlider mount (binoculars + tripod not included)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTripod adapter 3\/8 inch to M10 thread\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eBalance weight 2.5 kg (2 pieces)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eBalance weight 1.25 kg (2 pieces)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eBalance weight 0.5 kg (2 pieces)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eLocking device for balancing weights (2 pieces)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 182, 74);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eFREQUENTLY BOUGHT WITH THIS ITEM\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-style: italic; color: rgb(82, 182, 74);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 182, 74);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBresser ST-3 Tripod- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.horizonastronomy.ie\/collections\/bresser\/products\/bresser-st-3-stainless-steel-tripod\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eClick here \u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bresser","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54072922800463,"sku":"4964180","price":825.86,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/1924\/6275\/files\/BresserBinocularSlider-MountHead_9.webp?v=1735300984","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonastronomy.ie\/en-pl\/products\/bresser-binoculars-sliding-mount","provider":"Horizon Astronomy • Telescope Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
