One question I have: Even though I've been hand-holding them most of the time, there were a couple of occasions where I wanted to put them on my small camera tripod. I bought an L bracket for this purpose.

This works fine for objects in the lower part of the sky, but not so well for objects higher up. Is there a very small version of a paralellogram mount, or something else, that is still small, that I can use to make viewing higher up more comfortable? The tripod does have a head that moves around in all directions and elevations, but I can't seem to get the legs of the tripod out of the way when sitting in a chair.

Thanks,
-steve c.
