While Backpacking in the mountains: Any suggestions for a decent tripod that will be used for mounting my 10X binoculars.

I know i just posted on this forum with similar information. You can spend a fortune on this stuff. I would suggest you try a lightweight setup and see if it is for you. Light stuff will wiggle more especially in the wind. IMO lightweights are best used when glassing from a sitting position.

Can't beat the price. .

For more money you could go with an even smaller and lighter slik and get your own ballhead from B and H like I did:

I also have a bracket that cam locks on the front part of the 10 x 42 leica rangefinder binos:
