10x42's on a Tripod... Who Does It?

[Screamrider]

Just got the Outdoorsmans stud and bino adapter for my Swaros this year, made glassing with the 10x42's far more enjoyable and productive.

If I'm stopped, I'm glassing on a tripod with my 10's.

Do 7x42's count? If I'm where I can get a tripod up, I do.

I run 10x42s off of a monopod/trekking pole. Works great compared to off hand. I use the Nikon adapter that is very similar to the Vortex, works great.

In my humble opinion and all my worldly experience, this system is the only way to go. I've got the outdoorsmans stud on both my 8.5 x 42 el's and my 15 x 56 swaros. I hardly ever glass anymore without them being on a tripod.

If I am sitting I have the 10's on tripod.

Just got this piece the other day. I'm looking forward to using it. I think it'll make a huge difference for when I am sitting and glassing.

I use the vortex mount Iike above on my 10x42 vipers love using that set up.

I home brewed a bino adapter for my EL's.

Will have to make one of these for mine also. Can't believe Swaro does not make the EL's easier to mount on a tripod, but I can't complain about the view through them!

 

[Craig Van Arsdale]

I would say at least 75% of the time I'm glassing with binos they are on a tripod.

Yep, I glass from a tripod and love it! I now spot more deer than ever before. I'm using vortex razor hd 10x42 on a vortex summit ss tripod. I have both the unidaptor and the cheaper vortex adaptor. To be honest I prefer the vortex adaptor. I found the unidaptor poked me in the chest and was a bad fit into the mount leaving it loose and defeating the purpose of using a tripod in the first place.

Here is the Swarovski EL adapter. Very similar to the homemade one shown above but quicker to use because you are not using the butterfly nut.


And yes, I use the 10x42's on a tripod religously. fatrascal.

If you are seriously Glassing the tripod is the way to go
