It was a little difficult to put onto the binos.. the screw is tough to grab and twist… too short. But other than that is good.

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.

The Vortex adapter was very easy to fit onto the binoculars once I had removed the front cap. The kit came with the correct bolt and an Alan key. The bottom part easily screws onto a tripod screw and then you just slip the two parts together. This allows you to use on the tripod or to quickly lift of and use handheld. I have a pair of Vortex binoculars which are 12x magnification and because of this they have an irritating shake at full magnification while being hand held. With this adapter and the binoculars on a tripod the view is crystal clear.

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.

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.
