Its fork geometry lets the binocular swing right up to the zenith, so it suits overhead astronomy as well as terrestrial and nature observation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt from high-strength aluminium alloy, it combines smooth, low-vibration movement with a high load capacity. The fork arms sit about 280 mm apart inside (about 360 mm outside), and APM lists it for its 100 mm and 120 mm giant binoculars as well as the 28x110 mm model. The base fits a tripod via a 3\/8\" thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePans to the zenith\u003c\/strong\u003e – the fork shape allows free movement all the way to straight overhead.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmooth, low-vibration motion\u003c\/strong\u003e – soft tracking movements with high load capacity for large binoculars.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVixen-style dovetail clamp\u003c\/strong\u003e – the binocular attaches via a dovetail holder with clamping block.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy balancing\u003c\/strong\u003e – balance is set simply by sliding the binocular in the holder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFriction clamping on both axes\u003c\/strong\u003e – sensitive friction clamps in altitude and azimuth hold the view in place.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLift-off base bearing\u003c\/strong\u003e – the dry base bearing lets the fork be pulled up easily for transport.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTripod mounting\u003c\/strong\u003e – the base mounts easily on a tripod with a 3\/8\" thread.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:0 0 1.5em;font-size:.95em;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;width:42%;color:#555;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eAPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;width:42%;color:#555;\"\u003ePart number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eAPMGABEL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;width:42%;color:#555;\"\u003eMount type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eAlt-azimuth fork mount\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;width:42%;color:#555;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eHigh-strength aluminium alloy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;width:42%;color:#555;\"\u003eBinocular attachment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eVixen-style dovetail holder with clamping block\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;width:42%;color:#555;\"\u003eFork arm spacing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eApprox. 280 mm inside \/ 360 mm outside\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;width:42%;color:#555;\"\u003eBase connection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e3\/8\" thread\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;width:42%;color:#555;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e4.8 kg (4.1 kg without pivot bearing)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;width:42%;color:#555;\"\u003ePack size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e170 x 360 x 360 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;width:42%;color:#555;\"\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eAPM 100 mm and 120 mm giant binoculars, APM 28x110 mm giant binocular\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAPM fork mount for large binoculars\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54773660909852,"sku":"APMGABEL","price":2069.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/0835\/1516\/files\/0041017_apm-gabelmontierung-fur-grosfernglaser.jpg?v=1793133890","url":"https:\/\/www.magnumsports.com.au\/products\/apm-fork-mount-for-large-binoculars","provider":"Magnum Sports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
