Tripod Mount for Swarovski ELs?

[B.S.]

On the website, it states they are designed for the Geovid, but also fits many binoculars from Leica, Swarovski and Zeiss. If its a route you want to go, would be worth a call to them, they are very helpful.

I was told the ring clamp only works w the Geovids. Not sure

Anyone got any updates on this topic? I Just ordered a new pair of ELs and need a tripod mount

I went with the Aziak #2, Cody at GoHunt threw it in for free with my EL 10x42 purchase. A few options similar to that on the market. Tricer has one and so does Wiser Precision.

Thanks. You like the clamp? Any issues with balance on the tripod on uneven ground? I guess I need to upgrade my tripod as well. Been borrowing the wife’s camera equipment.

Yeah I have no complaints really. I have to pay a little more attention to leveling the tripod compared to the Outdoorsman's setup, but glassing ain't exactly a speed game so a few seconds to set up properly is no big deal.

Corian. Can be threaded for your arca fitting

RRS Cinch. Allows you to quickly level the binos if your tripod isn't level. I wanted to like the Aziak (really like their tripod), but you're basically locked into the plane of your tripod head when panning.

I had not seen this one. I like the idea of being able to adjust it as needed.

That’s awesome

Is it arca compatible?

I have a bog-pod version of the same style of binocular tripod mount that I no longer need. I sold my 10x Leupold binoculars that did not have the screw portion. I wouod sell you mine for $35 shipped if you are interested. Here is an Amazon link for the product:

I have this on my BOG tripod, it is OK and dose the job but has lots of play, sometimes I have to hold it with both hands to focus on an target, I have the older model thou, not sure if BOG fixed it

It is. Locks into my Tricer LP just fine. Aziak Backcountry Lite tripod, Tricer LP head, RRS Cinch. Pretty sweet little setup for seated glassing with binos and fairly light spotters.

I also made one from a scrap of G-10 with slots cut for velcro/webbing instead of my Corian/bungie deal. Drilled and threaded for the arca adapter, with a 3-bar slider sewed on the end of the strap, a piece of 1/8th inch rubber glued to the G-10 to keep the glass from moving. Works great and didn't cost anything.....

This is what I eventually ended up with as well. I have their plastic one. I leave it on the tripod as my binos don't fit in my harness well with it on the binos, so when I sit down to glass, I just fish the strap up between the barrels and clamp it down.
