Horizon 8115 tripod - which bit do I need to attach bins

[MrsR]

Hi guys

Wonder if you could help me, I will be buying a Horizon 8115 tripod at the end of the month for my Revelation 15x70 bins but wondering what attachment bit I need so I can fit my bins onto the tripod.

Also where can I get it from? I will be buying the tripod from FLO but cannot see anything on the FLO site that leads me to believe it is the right bit.

Thanks.

You'll need one of these (the large one!) Accessories - L-Type Binocular Tripod Adapters

Thanks Helen.

This may sound a really stupid question but looking at it and looking at my bins where on earth does it fit too?

I believe it's this:-

Oh ok, Helen got there before me.

There is a little removable cover on the bins which hides the connection - you can see it in the picture on the FLO website.

Thanks Helen.

If you look at the front of the central 'rod' between the two optical tubes there should be a screw cap. If you remove that you'll see the thread that the L attachment screws into.

When you get the Horizon tripod, see if you can work out how to remove the connecting block to attach to the bins.

Took me about 2 hrs but then I'm not that bright...

Hin Mrs R

Are you aware that there is a thing called a ball head and they fit on top of the

Tripod and the bins go on that

There are lots of different ones some look like a joy stick , you pall the trigger and move it, let go and it stops, cost more but I think there worth it
