Tripod Adapters

[Tadakun]

anyone recommend a stable tripod mount adapter for the binos? I have a 15x70 skymaster bins and the plastic L-bracket wobbles for minutes on end if i breath on it.

Telescope house do a strong metal one for a tenner. I use it on Revelation 15X70s, which are basically the same as yours, and it works fine.

D'oh. Just realised you're in Vermont. Shipping a mount from Lingfield to Vermont is probably not worth the effort. Another thought. On Amazon UK you can get decent binocular mounts for not much money. Proabably the same on Amazon US.

As you are in the USA, get this one:

I have the Farpoint adapter also for my Fuji 16x70's, which are heavy bins. Highly recommended!

thanks guys, it dawned on me the day after I posted this that I'm the office manager of a small CNC shop now. I found scrap 6061-t6 aluminum in a bin and had one of the guys that works with me weld together two 1/4" flat bars and a triangular scrap piece. and I drilled and tapped them 1/4"-20. I'll get a picture posted. Tomorrow I'm going to take the mount and round it out alittle on the mill. I hooked up the binos with it tonight and its sturdy as a brick.
