Nick ,
Check what the recommended maximum load bearing weight is for that particular head .
The temporarily absent EdZ and others have cautioned that a good rule of thumb is never to exceed around 50% of that stated maximum rating for binoculars intended to be used at sharply inclined angles .
Obviously , the maximum recommended load bearing for the tripod is an important factor also .
Regards
Kenny
