B&H put together this Celestron 20x70 Echelon Binoculars Kit to give you a complete observational platform for terrestrial or astronomical use. The kit includes a pair of Celestron's powerful binoculars that feature a strong magnification, wide exit pupils, and a highly portable yet stable tripod with a fluid head.
The 20x70 Echelon Binoculars from Celestron are large-objective binoculars featuring a fully multicoated optical path and a weather-resistant housing. Celestron's XLT lens coating helps maximize light transmission and improve image contrast. Individual-focus eyepieces allow the viewer to set the focus depending on their eyesight. A nitrogen-filled aluminum alloy housing provides fogproof and waterproof performance and non-slip rubber armoring helps maintain a secure grip in wet conditions or while wearing gloves.

The TrailSeeker Tripod with Fluid Pan Head from Celestron is a 4-section aluminum tripod with a two-way fluid pan/tilt head. It extends from a minimum working height of 18.9" to a maximum of 70.5". Weighing 3.9 lb, the tripod can hold up to 9 lb, whether that be a spotting scope, binocular, camera, small telescope, or other equipment.
The legs can be independently set to three different angles for shooting on an uneven surface. Flip locks allow you to adjust the height of each leg, and a foam grip on two of the legs adds comfort when carrying the tripod, especially in extreme temperatures. The Center column has a ballast hook for adding a counterweight, which will lower the center of gravity, adding stability to the tripod.
The tripod features a 2-way pan/tilt fluid head with one large knob that both controls the tension and locks the head in place. A quick-release plate with a 1/4"-20 threaded stud makes attaching and detaching your equipment quick and easy. Bubble levels help ensure that your camera will be level to the horizon.
Included with the TrailSeeker is a case and shoulder strap to protect your tripod and make transport easier.
Celestron's Binocular Tripod Adapter allows you to mount your binoculars onto a tripod or other support system to eliminate arm fatigue and greatly improve stability without hand-shake or other vibrations that can interfere with the viewing experience. It has a 1/4"-20 stud with an elongated thumbscrew for tool-free installation on your binocular, and a 1/4"-20 mount for the tripod.
