The Explore Scientific U-Mount and tripod is a heavy-duty alt-azimuth support designed to carry the large BT-150 giant binocular steadily and comfortably. A big binocular telescope needs a rock-solid base — any wobble is magnified in the view — and this purpose-built U-shaped mount cradles the instrument so you can sweep the sky smoothly with both hands free.

Its alt-azimuth motion (simple up/down and left/right) is the most intuitive way to aim a binocular, and the sturdy tripod keeps everything stable while you observe toward the zenith and along the horizon alike.

Who it's for: Owners of the Explore Scientific BT-150 (or similarly sized giant binoculars) who need a stable, purpose-made mount and tripod. Not sure how mounts differ? Read our guide to choosing a mount (AZ vs EQ).

  • Purpose-built for the BT-150: a U-shaped cradle sized for large giant binoculars.
  • Heavy-duty stability: a sturdy tripod and mount head that damp vibration for steady views.
  • Intuitive alt-azimuth motion: simple up/down, left/right aiming with no polar alignment.
  • Smooth movement: balanced motion for comfortable sky-sweeping.
  • Complete support: mount and tripod together for a ready-to-use setup.

Why do I need a special mount for a giant binocular?
Large binoculars are heavy and high-powered, so any vibration blurs the view; a purpose-built heavy-duty mount keeps the image steady and comfortable.

What is a U-mount?
It's a U-shaped cradle that holds the binocular on both sides, allowing smooth alt-azimuth movement and comfortable viewing across the sky.

Does it need polar alignment?
No — as an alt-azimuth mount it moves simply up/down and left/right, so you can set up and start observing right away.
