Best affordable tripod and bino adapter combo ???

[CorbLand]

I've been using the Field Optics for years on several Tripods, never a problem other than a little loose.

I used one for a couple years and still would if they made a stud to fit NLs.

If you want something cheap go with stuff from a sporting goods store. It will be ok it will work. If want something thats really good look at stuff for photography. Its probably 2-3 times cost of stuff find at sportsmans or cabelas but it will be lighter and stronger and definitely more steady.

And worlds better than the tripod outdoorsmans sells. I dont know why they still make those why do they associate their brand name with those. I thought it would be great. Their adapters are good. I thought well with a panhead this good their expensive tripods must be great too. Wrong. Heavy and not much steadier than sporting goods store variety.

Don’t know what your budget is but this seems to be a pretty great deal

Outdoormans is the gold standard. That said. Aziak on a small rig head is a very good compact, lightweight, affordable option. If you don’t want to go the outdoormans rout.

Slick 624 carbon tripod and the new traceir tripod head is extremely light weight for backcountry hunting, but you can’t stand and Glass you need to sit,
How do use a swaro stud adapter, so it’s hard to beat.

I will reiterate the Outdoorsman Bino adapter is worth it. I don’t see what their tripod offers for the price though.

Anything cheap you buy will be replaced and worth little to nothing down the road. Save up, buy good gear and hunt.

There’s cheaper and more expensive ways of doing this, but I have used this setup for 2-3 years and I can’t imagine needing anything different. Slik 624, Outdoorsmans Pistol Grip and Bino Adapter. Like others have said, can’t stand and glass with the 624, but I never do anyway. I’d buy it in pieces if you can’t swing it all at once.

Another vote for the aziak adapter. Switched last year and prefer it significantly over the field optics research adapter. I run the slik 634 tripod. I feel it’s a good budget option that’s still adequate/solid enough that I trust it in the backcountry.

RRS Cinch and call Doug for a tripod.

My "cheap" setup is a Primos Trigger Stick Gen 3 and a Vortex Optics Sport Binocular Adapter. I use the short trigger stick (18-38 in) to save a little weight, so it only works sitting or kneeling. It came with an adapter you can swap on in place of the rest. I paid $115 on Optics Planet with a coupon. The adapter was $20.

I can't rave about it, but it has worked fine for the cost.

Field Optics Research Rapid Release Gen 2, available from @gr8fuldoug, is inexpensive and simply works.
