I’ve tried it on black diamond as well as cascade mountain tech poles. It works best on the cascade poles but totally serviceable on the black diamond. I can pan left and right using my eyes to move the binos and keep my hands down lower on the pole supported by my knees for more stability. For me it’s quite a bit steadier than on the handle

I had to do the same for my ELs also. I was worried after ready the directions. LolJust got my sparrow in the mail today, love that it mounts in the center of the binos, this always bugged me about my aziak.
For those with a dual bridge bino like the swaro EL, you’ll have to unthread the strap to get it around, which the directions clearly say NOT to do, and I know why now haha. It’s a bit tough to get the strap back through the tensioning rod if you pull it all the way out, I did get it back in though and installed on my ELs.
I also noticed the contour of the aluminum base is a tighter radius than my ELs and I worrry the edges are gonna dig into the armor and permanently dent them. We’ll see what happens.
Overall they are slick and I love that in the bino harness the sparrow kinda pushes them forward a tiny bit and actually helps with gripping them and pulling them out of the harness while still being very smooth in and out. I also love the trekking pole hole to throw them up quick if in a pinch.

They had an instructional video on their YouTube showing how to mount them to all types of binos.
I have a pair of ELs……curious, did the Sparow dent the armor??Just got my sparrow in the mail today, love that it mounts in the center of the binos, this always bugged me about my aziak.

Yeah so I actually have an Arca plate for the ATC right now and just direct mount it. but was thinking a strap hold down would be nice because you could rotate the angled spotter to fit your glassing position. Would be a nice workaround for the ATC not having a twisting ring.Just did some quick numbers, I think it would fit. Since it should hypothetically work for 15x56 binos that gives me some more confidence.
Just curious, do you see a benefit of that sparrow over putting on a standard quick release plate? Curious if once those beers wear off if you change your mind

, the adapter stays tight. But if you push down, as in applying pressure on the top side of the metal contraption, see pic below,
… it will completely come loose with very little pressure. Here’s a screenshot from the video where it popped loose:
My tripod tipped over with my sparrow- mounted 12x50s about 18" off the ground and the strap popped loose. However when I got home I was able to loosen the set screw, tighten the strap, and tighten the set screw again, and it appears to be fine now. But something to be aware of, this thing can bust loose and if you don't have both Allen's to retighten you could be screwed on a long hunt. But i otherwise love mine.
