Product Description

The First Horizon 8115 heavy duty tripod is a popular full height tripod that combines excellent stability, with precise control, and is ideal for a wide variety of optical equipment. Comfortably manages all Spotting Scopes and Observation Binoculars with up to 100mm Diameter lenses. Can be used effectively in the field and relied upon to provide years of service with clever design features including twist lock adjustable legs and spiked and rubber adjustable feet. Recommended for Serious Nature Observing, Astronomical Observing and Video applications. Supplied with a quick release plate and standard 1/4ww thread that suits most Binoculars, Spotting scopes and large Cameras with long lenses.

Recommended for giant binoculars and spotting scopes up to 100mm apertures, perfect for 20x80 or 25x100 giant binoculars when used for astronomy, high enough for use standing up avoiding back strain or neck craning. Additional quick release plates are available (see related products below).

Extends to an impressive height - The tripod remains stable even when extended, due to a bracket that locked the legs into place We especially liked the way in which the adaptor plate was fitted into the mount, which is held in place by a sprung locking mechanism. Telescopes are expensive, so it’s worth making sure they are securely attached.”

10/10 Amazing turn around! Great value for money and an incredible turnaround!!! Ordered on a Sunday… Delivered on the Tuesday!!! (22/01/2023) Mike - Fareham

10/10 Great tripod - Great Sevice! I needed a decent tripod for Celestron Skymaster 80 x 20 binoculars for amateur star gazing but was unsure if needed additional mounts - a quick email to Harrison Telescopes who responded quickly advising I didn’t. Ordered the tripod with prompt service, I would recommend Harrison’s Telescopes! (20/12/2022) JK - Surrey

8/10 Sturdy A good tripod for heavy binoculars; the centre column makes height adjustment convenient, and I'm pleased that the head is light alloy, not plastic. I found after buying it that the head can be removed by loosening two grub screws beneath the platform, to reveal a quarter screw to take other heads. . (14/12/2022) Alan Atkinson - Co Durham

10/10 Quality Product - very satisfied Excellent tripod, very sturdy and robust. Super quick delivery and as always, great customer service. Note you will need and adaptor if you want to use it with binoculars. (15/11/2022) Phillip - Cotswolds

10/10 It was great! It was great! Ordered the horizon tripod for heavy binoculars after speaking to the staff great product and quick delivery unfortunately it was damaged I contacted the staff and it was dealt with instantly a new part was sent out and received the next day what service (02/05/2022) Andrew -

8/10 Very happy with the tripod and the service. The tripod arrived on time and I was very happy with the product. Very stable and easy to adjust. I have bought a carrying backpack and fitted it to the tripod which make it easy to carry but would not want to carry it very far without this. (07/03/2022) Rob - Devon

10/10 This is a very sturdy tripod. Probably too heavy to carry too far but a great choice for the garden or static observation. This is what I wanted it for and a step up in terms of stability compared with my velbon sherpa. Service was good from Harrison's as well as the price. I'm very satisfied. (16/08/2021) John Nichols - Surrey

10/10 Perfect Using this tripod for my Celestron 25 x 100 binoculars (4kg), really sturdy and easy to set up - delivery was quick as well ... definitely good value for money (05/09/2020) - London

10/10 Perfect solution for large binoculars I was recently given a pair of Opticron Oregon 20x80 binoculars for my birthday but needed a solid, sturdy, and steady support, the Horizon Tripod is perfect. They allow me to sweep the whole night sky precisely from horizon to directly overhead and then lock onto a distant star - job done! (04/06/2020) Tony - Hurstpierpoint

10/10 A good buy, especially if you are tall! I purchased this tripod for use with some binoculars. They are sturdy, but not too heavy to move or too bulky to store. The best feature for me is the height they extend to - I am 6ft 4" tall and I can use them binoculars on them without having to be bent over! (22/02/2020) Mike - Wolverhampton

10/10 Excellent Service I needed a tripod for my new heavy binoculars,I had already returned a tripod that I bought from elsewhere and had to return it as it was too flimsy Came onto this site and thought I would give it a go I was not disappointed in any way,a good solid made tripod, and delivered very quickly 5******** (24/01/2020) -

10/10 Great value for money. I recently purchased some Helios 20x100 binoculars which weigh 2.6Kg. My light weight photography tripod couldn't cope! I read a few reviews for the Horizon tripod and decided to give it a go for £80. For the money it is fantastic. Study, well built, quality head and adjustment. Very happy with it! (10/01/2020) Troy - Shropshire

10/10 Great tripod for binoculars Bought for my new 25x70 skymaster binos. This is a tall and solid tripod, I am 6'00" and can use the binos standing upright with steady viewing within its range. Its very comfortable to use, 10 times better than my old travel tripod, and 50 times better than hand held. (03/10/2019) Paul M - Kidlington

10/10 Brilliant customer service. looking for a heavy duty tripod for a long. Done the highstreet stores. Sometimes travel distance to see tripods on store sellers recommendations but none were up to the strength and stability for a heavy spotting scope. Harrison were amazing in knowledge. Confidence in them I bought one. Fantastic (24/05/2019) Carl - Suffolk

10/10 A good sturdy tripod Needed a heavy duty tripod for the Celstron 100 fieldscope, (which is on the heavy side and large). This tripod does the job well. Instand email advice and next day delivery service from Harrison’s appreciated. (24/08/2018) Micky - Weymouth
