VortexOptics Sport Binocular Adapter

Big improvement over the older version Vortex bino tripod adapter. It’s smaller and easier to move around with, and works flawlessly. I’m able to leave the part that fits in the binos on them, even when I put them in the harness, then I can just take them out and set them on the tripod post. So easy and steady.

A must have for 10x50 or larger binoculars. Very nice for extended use of smaller binos too. I use this for my 20x77. No question this slip on, slip off mount adapter is worth every penny!

The only change I would suggest is that the adapter makes it so the binoculars won’t fit in their case. It would be nice if the adapter was made so that the piece attached to the binocs was smaller and fit in the case with them. The other portion that attaches to the tripod could be bigger to make the connection.That having been said. This does work and it’s noce being able to put 12x binocs on a tripod.

This is a good product, for what it is intended to be, which is a tripod mount that is quickly and easily detached from. The product comes in two pieces. The base screws into the tripod head. The top stem screws firmly and securely into the binoculars, and is then seated into the base. There are two small pins on the bottom of the top stem that prevent it from rotating in the base, but there is no tension or locking mechanism to hold it in place, other than gravity. This is the way I prefer it. If I want to quickly remove the binoculars from the tripod all I have to do is lift them straight up. I don't think I would want an adaptor that holds the binoculars down, as it would make them difficult to remove quickly and they would be toast if somehow the tripod gets knocked over onto rocks or concrete. The binoculars would take the full brunt of the fall if fully attached. At least this way they could fall free of the tripod and stand a chance. I bought this for use with the Vortex Crossfire 8x42 binoculars, and they easily fit back in the included chest pack with the stem still attached and are not in the way at all.

Work very well with My Vortex Binoculars when I attach them to a Tripod for spotting and hunting. Good Quality

Got this yesterday, after trying another brand for my 10x50 Diamondback HD Vortex binos, which didn't fit. This adapter fitted fine. It allows 2 methods of mounting to a tripod: 1) direct from adapter that attaches to the binos, and 2) indirectly via a bino drop-in adapter. With the latter, you can lift the binos off the tripod and use them in a second, then easily put them back into the adapter for tripod viewing. This affords flexibility, but introduces the risk that you'll pick up the tripod without securing the binos and having them fall off the tripod. As I'm well aware I'm sometimes forgetful, most times I'll choose to attach the binos directly to the tripod to avoid damage to my binos. Either way, the mount that you leave attached to the binos fits in the Vortex bino case. Happy with this purchase.

I got this product to use to secure my Vortex binoculars onto a clamp that I needed to use on my Deerstand in order to film. It works wonderful, very easy to put together and to use very sturdy product.

Lightweight fits in zip pocket of binocular case. THIS ISNOT A LOCKDOWN device so don’t try to lift and move binoculars and tripod quickly together
