Vixen Giant Binoculars Eyepieces and Mount

Get the Most Out of Your Vixen Astronomy Binoculars

Incredible views of deep space objects, unbelievable terrestrial sights, and the best eye relief you can get. Pair your Vixen giant binoculars with two SLV eyepieces for clear images without the viewing strain of traditional telescopes.

SLV Series 50° Eyepiece from Vixen Optics: Available with a 15mm, 20mm, or 25mm Focal Length. The Vixen SLV series is a modern twist on the timeless Vixen Lanthanum eyepieces. Renowned for their eye relief and precision, these eyepieces are cherished by planetary, lunar, and double star observers.

Within the SLV Series of Vixen Eyepieces, you'll find a hexagonally shaped eyepiece barrel, extended eye relief, and a twist-up click-stop eyecup for convenient adjustments.

Crafted with high-grade lanthanum glass, SLV eyepieces deliver astonishingly clear and high-contrast star images right to the edge of the viewing circle. The lenses are fully multicoated to ensure exceptional light transmission.

Vixen Optics HF2 Altazimuth Fork Mount: This is an altazimuth mount made for giant astronomical binoculars. You can attach the fork mount to most strong tripods with a 3/8"-16 mounting-stud. 

Vixen Optics HAL 130SXG Aluminum Tripod: The customizable height lets you adjust the telescope to your preferred position for effortless and comfortable viewing. The upper part of the tripod, where the mount connects, is coated with powder for a tough finish that withstands flaking and fading. Additionally, the tripod easily folds down for easy storage and portability. 

Vixen Swing Bracket/Mounting Plate: For mounting the BT81S-A (81mm) binoculars on the HF2 Altazimuth Fork Mount.

 FAQ

Can I interchange these eyepieces on the Vixen Giant Binoculars?

Yes. The binoculars feature an interchangeable eyepiece holder with a 1.25-inch / 31.7mm diameter, allowing users to customize magnification and field of view according to their preferences.

What mounts do I need to use the tripod with the Vixen Giant Binoculars?

The Vixen Giant Binoculars come with a convenient carrying handle for transportation and easy tripod assembly. For the Vixen BT-126SS-A, it is recommended that you add the HF2 Altazimuth Fork Mount and the HAL 130SXG Aluminum Tripod. For the Vixen BT-81S-A, you would want both of those as well as the Vixen Swing Bracket/Mounting Plate to fit it properly on the mount.

Using the correct mount ensures smooth movements and accurate tracking. Depending on the friction settings, the binocular position remains stable, reducing vibrations to a minimum. This is the best way to experience observation of even the finest details without disruption, even at high magnifications.
