Tricer bino adapter with BX-4

Has anyone used the tricer bino adapter with 10x42 2nd gen BX-4s? Does the stud stick to far past the end of the binos to be able to leave it on when in a harness?

I used the outdoorsmans on the first gen BX-4. It did stick out a bit past the end but I was able to still use the harness but I was a little worried that it might wear a hole in the interior fabric.

The bigger problem with that combo was that once on a tripod, the balance was way off and I had to keep the tilt pretty tight to avoid it tilting back. I could play with the position of the plate to help alleviate it some. I ended up going to other binos because of this. No way was I giving up my outdoormans adapter so the binos had to go.

I was thinking I could print a cap to cover the threads that wouldn't be as a rough on the inside of the harness for that reason.

What makes the outdoorsman mount so much better? Other than pretty colors?

I haven't used any of the other post-style QD adapters, so I don't know if it's better, but in 2018, when I got it, it was pretty much all that existed for a QD adapter. There was really only that one and the stupid screw in kind. Regardless of what post style adapter I could have used, the balance issue was a big deal to me.

Fair enough, thanks for the feedback.

Did you end up getting it? How far out does it stick?

I got busy with some house remodel stuff and haven't looked at it any further.

Tricer bino adpter en route (tricer 4th of July sale active now through the 7th, 20% off). When it gets here I'll update and include some pictures and dimensions of the adapter standoff and some pictures of everything mounted on a Vortex High country 2 tripod.

Sorry I'm just now getting back to this but I've been super busy. The adapter sits about half an inch. I modeled a cover for it with a hole for some cordage to tie off to when not in use. I'm going to print some out of TPU and test them out on an elk hunt the 12th-22nd.
