Binocular Tripod Adapter with Standard 1/4"-20 Thread

This adapter works perfectly with my Vortex Triumph binoculars. The connection is secure and the binoculars are perfectly balanced. Before this one, I bought a cheap adapter that looked very similar but the screw was too long and wouldn't work even with washers.

This just works and is well-made. The angle makes it easy to connect to a tripod and still use. My only complaint, which is not their fault, is that using a tripod for binoculars is just hard or impossible when approaching the zenith. Consider lying down without a mount. Or use one that allows the arm to swing parallel to the ground so you can mount and look up. :) Happy veiwing Aitborne! Kevin

They fit on some really old big binos I had but the bolt wasn't long enough so there wasn't a lot of thread engagement. Made me a little nervous.

I have Celestron 15x70 binoculars which you can use freehand, but for any length of time becomes tedious. Already had a vanguard tripod for my camera which uses the 1/4 20 threaded screw, so this fit perfectly. This setup is extremely portable whenever weather permits, and exceptional for nature and astronomical viewing.

Okay, I've got my Celestron binocular adapter and here are some pictures on the Meade 10x56. It fits much better, and goes on much easier than my older adapter. The extended thumb turner is far, far easier to attach. The support is narrow enough to shut/close the binoculars all the way, for minimum IPD, even with the standard rubber objective covers still attached. The thumb extender does stick out 4mm beyond the bottom of the objectives, so they won't sit flat with that attached, but the 4mm isn't enough to make them tippy; I just worry about the objectives getting dusty. Curiously enough, there was a nice padded neck strap (pictured) all folded up inside a plastic ziploc stuffed into the box with the binocular adapter. This was definitely not mentioned in the Amazon listing. But I bought a "refurbed" adapter to save $5 (what could go wrong, right?), so I can only guess that whomever returned their product to Amazon accidentally put a neck strap in the box and no one at Amazon noticed the mistake (how could they know?). Anyway, that's my gain! FWIW, I measure IPD as 58-73mm. The Celestron adapter does not change those measurements.

I am disappointed with this item. In comparing it to the other options, it looked like I would be able to clamp it tightly to my binoculars and hold it really well. However, despite having the flat piece, it doesn't allow you to make it tight enough to hold the binoculars firmly. With any movement of the binoculars, they immediately loosen just enough to allow the binoculars to rotate on their own to whichever position gravity prefers instead of the position I prefer. They do allow me to mount the binoculars onto my tripod, but with just my hands, it isn't tight enough. I guess I could use a pair of pliers to try to torque it down tighter, but I'm not wanting to carry another item into the field to make sure my binoculars are firmly attached to the tripod. It is working so poorly that I'm going to buy another style and hope I get a better result. I'm giving them 3 stars because I'm not going to send them back as they do in fact allow a pair of binoculars to attach to my tripod, but they are irritating.

I used this to mount my binoculars to a tripod, which we then used for some casual stargazing. Simple product that worked as expected. All I could ask for!

Easily adapt your binos to the tripod. Made of metal and nice and sturdy connection. Has an off set to reverse it if ya feeling too crowded to the tripod.

Stabil men skruven där man fäster kikaren lossnar lätt. Det räcker därför inte dra fast den med handkraft utan man behöver ett verktyg typ skiftnyckel eller tång. Det borde ha varit en vingmutter eller vanlig mutter så man kan dra åt riktigt hårt med verktyg. Kvaliteten är "så där" så att säga så lite dyr med tanke på kvaliteten.

A steady view when you're looking far away helps with every pair of binoculars put it on a tripod with this little thing.It works great

Passt perfekt super Ware gerne wieder. Danke

Nice
