Binocular Tripod Mount options

[powds]

I just got my hands on a new pair of ELs and my Bushnell tripod mount doesn’t work with these so I’m looking for some other options and curious what’s out there. I know I can get the outdoorsman stud installed but wondering what else is out there.

Thanks

Outdoorsmans, don’t need to look further than that in my opinion.

Aziak or RRS cinch are alternatives

Both work great. The Aziak is a little lighter and slimmer, and is my preference, but both are out of the way, fit in a bino harness, and are stable.

I had some 1.5 inch aluminum syrap laying around. Cut it to fot width oh my leicas, drilled an undersized hole in the center for the quick release plate. Then grabbed a .35 cent rubber band. Yep I am that cheap but it works great.

Any concerns with rubbing and wearing out the bino material

I don’t understand… you use vortex glass or what?

Have to ship my binos to Arizona to get the outdoorsman stud put in

I second the outdoorsman. Using them on my NL's.

I know it sucks having to ship them off but the outdoorsman stud is really the way to go. I’ve had them install it on EL12’s in the past and put them on other binos and there’s nothing like it. I recently got the RRS cinch to use on my EL8.5’s and it sucks mounted on the barrel in comparison compared to the outdoorsman stud I just put on my NL12’s when using them back and forth off the tripod.

No, I haven’t had either move once installed.

Oh cool thanks nice to have a direct comparison between the two

Outdoorsmans. The self leveling ability of the bino stud / bino adapter should not be understated.

Aziak Equipment, not used it, but will probably pick one up at some point.

I’ve use the Aziak Equipment bino clamp for my binos. It’s super light and doesn’t get in the way in my bino harness. Also I like having that both my spotting scope and binos are Arca-Swiss so I don’t need to carry any other attachments for connecting to my tripod.

 

[yotesnmore]

The idea of it connecting both sounds very nice.

 

[Hummerdawg]

I like the RRS cinch never take it off fits nicely in the bino harness

Thanks for all the replies. Definitely leaning towards the outdoorsman.

Has anybody had any experience with the kestrel?

I have a RRS on my Leicas and am happy with it.
