Information on mount for BIG bino's

Hello to all, I just acquired some binoculars that are 25x100. I honestly did not realize how big and heavy they were until they arrived today. I built a parallelogram mount while I was waiting for them to come out of metal and hardwood, but it is just not big enough. Has anyone built a heavy duty mount for some big bino's or anybody have some good suggestions on the best places to get something that would work. I had rather build my own but would be willing to purchase one if the price was right. Any pics you have of one you own or have built would point me in the right direction and as always greatly appreciated. Thanks again and take care

Check the web site for their HD Red Oak Parallelogram mount. Price is $149. This is the lowest price parallelO mount I am aware of which can hold binos over 10 lbs. I checked out this mount at a scope show last year and it works well. You can easily spend twice that for a all metal mount.

Another option is the Bogen 501 fluid head. I have two of them and they work quite well with my ProOptics 25X100 binos(8.5 lbs). Street price ~$135.
