Most Affordable Way to Mount Binos and Spotter to Same Tripod - Recommendations Needed

[AZ SpotStalker]

I thought there would be more when searching but only finding the Outdoorsmans Dual Mount which is not in my budget. Hoping to find something under $200.

Who is running both on the same tripod and how? Do you recommend it? Need to stay light for back packing.

Run two plates. Save the mechanical advantage and 190bux.

Two quick release plates and a cheap universal bino adapter. $20ish bucks on amazon, the one that looks like a plate with a strap for binos.

Field optics research. Around 50 bucks and a similar style to the outdoorsmans. There is a stud that threads into your binos which then slides down over the tower that mounts to your tripod. I have one and really like it. Have played with the outdoorsman's just a little bit, and do not feel super handicapped by the FOR one in comparison. I do like it much better than the platform and strap style which I have used also.

oh, got it. This is just for a bino adapter with quick release. I already have the Outdoorsmans bono adapter. I’m looking for a way to attach binos and spotter to the same tripod at the same time. I’ll probably try willfrye’s suggestion.
Thanks

Oh, my bad. What is your mounting setup? Do you have a tripod head with an ARCA plate?

 

[sneaky]

What tripod are you using now? Binos and spotter mounted on the same head requires a solid setup. I've never really wanted to have both of mine mounted together. It only takes a second to switch between binos and spotter, I'll deal with that over carrying another heavy adapter that takes up pack space and costs that much.

perfect, thanks Doug! Do I need anything else to attach this to my tripod or should my standard Slik adapter plate screw into it?
