Bino adapter tripod mount options

[Brandon270]

Doing a quick search for what guys are running for adapters, I came across the outdoorsman's and vortex options. I'm currently searching for something to replace the heavy/bulky adapter I currently use. It's the style that threads directly into the bino and never seems to get tight enough.

I heard about these in a podcast I like the quick attachment style as well as the light weight but didn't know if anyone has any experience with them or how solid of an attachment they are in real world use.

I made my own with a chunk of aluminum and a bungee. Works good and I didn't need to add a stud to by binos.

I have an extra one of these if you’re interested.

I’m a fan of the outdoorsman stud and their adapter.

I really like the field optics research adapter. I have used it for the last 4 or 5 years. It is really quick and easy to use and I have had zero issues with it.

However, I recently picked up one of these on amazon just to try it out and I have been impressed. I like the FOR adapter more but for $15 bucks this works really well.

I use the vortex uni-adapter. I think it's called something else now. About the cheapest option for a stud adapter and it's worked well for me.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I have a few more options to look into now but they all look like a huge improvement from my current setup.

Just buy the outdoorsman’s one and don’t look back

I've got the Vortex universal one, and I hate it.

+1 I’ve used a variety of bino adapters and the outdoorsman is easily the most solid and easy to use.

Me too. I have Leica range finding binos so the studs don’t work

Me three…works well for the Leupolds I’ve had and the Kowa Genesis that I’m currently using. No complaints.
