Tripod w/ mount

[3Arrows]

I'm looking for set up to put my binos on. I have a pair of 2012 Leopold Acadia 8x42 and want to put them on a tripod. I'm looking for a way to mount them without having to buy a new set up. I'm not in a spot to spend alot of money just want to get them on a tripod. Let me know if there is anything out there to make this happen. Thanks in advance

Do those binos have the 1/4-20 thread at the front hinge?

I don't believe so, it just has the round adjustment knob

according to Leopold website you will need this.
Amazon.com: Leupold Binocular Tripod Adapter Fits All Binoculars 118660: Sports & Outdoors

Don't know if its different for the older model but I would imagine that it is universal.

Looks like it's taped for 1/4 20 so any thread in adaptor will work. I prefer the field optics one

That's the route I recently went and can't wait to use. It looks like it'd work for the OP, too.

Punch in "binocular tripod adapter" on amazon, ebay, google, etc and there are hundreds of them to choose from. I've used a couple cheap ones and they all worked just fine!

Personally, I prefer the flat knob like the one below, which allows me to get it a little tighter with my fingers..

Do you need a tripod as well? I have a couple suggestions for cheap ones as well...

Yep, that will work just fine to connect your binos to the tripod.

As far as tripods go, I bought this one earlier this year and I really like it.

A friend of mine uses this one and likes it, but I didnt want a 3-way panhead.

What's the difference in the pan heads? I'm not going to be doing any filming this will be strictly for glassing.
