Finder Scope or Pointer

[BinoView]

Looking to attach a laser or Red dot finder to my Zhumell 25x100 Astronomy Bino. Does anyone know what I could use to make this happen. Thank you in advance

Depending how close you are to/from Norfolk International Airport [ORF] and any other civil/military/emergency airfield, I would consider using an RDF.

I made a simple RDF mount from a surplus TeleVue QwikPoint mounting block, 15mm pipe clips, M4 machine screws/bolts and nyloc nuts. [image below].

It clips to the centre bar of my Revalation Astro binoculars for easy fitting/removal.

I am a diy kind of person, is this the only way of making this?

I will have to search through some stuff in my shop.

is what you made a pop on kinda thing or is it actually fastened via small screws/bolts?

Yes! It's a pop on/pop off with the pipe clips for easy fitting/removal on/along the centre bar.

BTW... the pipe clips are 15mm.

I am having such a difficult time trying to locate these 15mm pipe clips, tried Home Depot, Lowe’s, a plumbing store and even a neighborhood hardware store……………driving me nuts
