NL pures - Swaro tripod adapter only options?

[stephane]

For folks familiar with mid 2024 upgrade to the NL pures where you can use the Swarovski tripod adapter, do I need to use the Swarovski adapter or will other cheaper ones work with the NL pures?

Outdoorsmans has an updated stud, but they are currently sold out.

I was looking more along the lines of budget ones like this:

That looks a little shaky to hang 3 grand on.

This is the one I bought. I like it better that the outdoorsman stud and it works with my outdoorsman adapter.

If you are looking for cheap buy a Aziak bino clamp. To me it seems weird to buy a pair of $3k+ binos and want to cheap on the clamp that makes them useful.

Got a tricer clamp type with the arca base plate works well and still fits in the bino harness

I have the updated Outdoorsmans stud on one pair and an Aziak objective Arca clamp on the other, both work well.

Running the MUTNT adaptor on my 14's. I installed it myself and haven't had any issues. Running it with the outdoorsman's tall post.

 

[dmossu]

I am between the MUTNT setup or the Kramer Design Company setup because I already have the Kramer stud on my NL Pures

I have thought about those clamps, but do they actually hold the binos steady?

Yes

Aziak clamp with the ARCA Swiss base on my NL’s and ELs. Weight is sub an ounce and they are steady on the tripod…Aziak Front Country or Back Country models depending on the day.

Yes.
No issues with the Aziak Clamp. I have both the Outdoorsmans Stud and the Clamp on my NL 10x42s and I generally gravitate to the clamp over the stud These days.

I had an instance a few years ago where I forgot my Outdoorsmans Bino Adapter and couldn't effectively tripod my binoculars, the clamp fixes that because all of my heads are arca so even if I forget the adapter for some reason, I will always have the clamp on there and can still tripod the binos.
Downside is you can't level out the binos as easily when you start glassing.
