Astro Revelation 25×100 Giant Binocular with Case, Tripod and Several Books.
Condition is Used.
A perfect introductory set of stargazing kit for the budding astronomer or someone who needs very high terrestrial magnification.
We bought these for our father who only used them 4 times after which he became ill and could no longer gaze. They are in mint condition with the exception of some very small blemishes on the silver plates, which are so small that I struggled to get a photo of them.
They come with an Astro heavy duty tripod and a series of books that we bough for him at the same time.
The fixing on the top of the tripod is already connected to the binoculars so you just need to clip in to start gazing.
The carrying case for the binoculars is slightly damaged but still works. As the manufacturers description outlines below the case is not meant to be used continuously, it is only for transporting hence some superficial damage but it would be very easy to fix it up.

Astro Pro 187 Heavy Duty Photographic Tripod
Introducing the Astro Pro 187 Heavy Duty Photographic Tripod: an ideal tripod system for observational astronomy through large astrobinoculars, spotters and small telescopes – and also an excellent camera mount and platform for camera tracking devices, such as the Vixen Polarie, Astrotrac and iOptron SkyTracker. The tripod itself is constructed from high performance aircraft-grade aluminium making it ultra-lightweight (weighing in at 2.39kg), but extremely stiff and sturdy – easily supporting loads of up to 8kg. Its legs are a three section collapsible system with quick release clamps. Best of all is its height – at 187cm, the Astro Pro 187 is the most lofty tripod in its price bracket and tall enough for most people to observe the zenith with.
The Astro Pro 187 Heavy Duty Photographic Tripod comes with removable Quick Release Plate (also available as an extra item), featuring a standard 1/4″ Whitworth camera-mounting bolt, a bi-directional super-smooth fluid head, which is operated and locked by a single large knurled knob (for easy operation with gloved hands). The head also features a large bubble level, with a smaller circular level and a magnetic compass present the top of the tripod.
