BARSKA Binocular Tripod Adaptor (AF10546)

We bought a big pair of stargazing binoculars. The original plastic adapter that came with it was wiggly, so we bought this metal adapter. The difference is tremendous. The binoculars don't wiggle anymore, because this metal adapter is rigid.

This is a great binocular adapter mount for any binoculars. I have used it for a pair of celsestron 25x70 very large binoculars as well as Athlon 10x42 and wosport 15x60 and 10x42 binoculars and it worked great with all these pairs of binoculars.it is made of solid metal and with a good tripod very stable with no shaking or wobbling while looking through your glass.I would highly recomment this to anyone that is looking for a good binocular tripod adapter mount.

I bought this Barska binocular tripod mount so that I could mount my Bushnell 10x42mm Banner and Bushnell 10-22x 50mm Legacy WP binoculars on a tripod for stable, hands-free viewing. This Barska mount works for both Bushnell models (it connects to the mounting screw interface located on the front of each binocular body, and will connect them to a standard tripod using a 1/4"-20 UNC screw.The mount itself is made of metal and feels very solid in the hand (no cheap plastic crap!). It provides a solid and steady attachment to the tripod, which is important when you are mounting a quality optical instrument and need a solid connection to the tripod. This is definitely a good value for the money.

The Celestron 15x70mm binoculars I got couple of days ago has a plastic mount that came with the package is significantly wobbly when you touch the binoculars with your face to view something and it makes it impossible. This helped a lot like other reviews said. Reduction is from a 15 sec wobble to 3 sec wobble after I tried this. Threading is a little longer so the binoculars will losely rotate around it. I happened to have a set of washers I purchased in bulk from Amazon a while ago so it was not a big deal and costly matter. At one point I was wondering if I should purchase a costly tripod instead of the $35 one but this is a far better solution with a metal mount to try for a while.

I have a pair of large binoculars That I wanted to use for shooting from a tripod and this piece uses the location on the russian binoculars to hold it in place… easy to setup and use.

Price was right and was received quickly. The quality of the metal seems more than adequate for mounting big binoculars. It is heavy for its size so its unlikely made from aluminum. Definitely further reduced wobble experienced from the plastic adapter mount received with the binoculars. A couple of issues which I consider a fail. Tightening the upper mounting screw tightly doesn't stop the binocular from a minute degree of swiveling while adjusting the focus knob. Others have recommended a possible fix by adding a star washer. So this is fixable but this solution or a rubber O ring should have been included. Comparing the base of this adapter to the plastic one, the base of the Barska is small. Smaller than I expected. The Barska base doesn't provide the necessary contact area or rubber to rubber friction resistance surface when screwed tightly down upon the quick release plate of the tripod. With minimum force it will eventually move from the desired fixed position. Gluing the two surfaces together is not an option in my case. Some may find it a minor annoyance or unacceptable. I'm exploring other options for a larger/wider base mount application.

I just rec'd this new tripod adapter, and immediately tried it out (just in case I had to immediately return it!). So far, it is excellent. There is no vibration between the tripod and the binoculars through the adapter. I shouldn't have to say this but, of course there will be vibration if you hit the tripod and/or push your face into the binoculars. Some reviewers have complained about the depth of the recess of the threading, or the rubber pad where the adapter mounts to the tripod plate. I'm using a Manfroto 3275 tripod head, and the plate's mounting screw went right in to the base of the adapter and secured just fine. As for the mounting screw that attaches to center of the binoculars, I find no problem with it. The threading was correct, length of the stud was fine, and they give you a nice thick rubber knurled thumb screw to tighten it with. Other reviewers had mentioned that this adapter was too thick or bulky to mount to the middle of the binoculars. I'm using Skymaster 15x70 binoculars, and there is plenty of room to spare on either side of the adapter-to-lens assembly. Maybe a very small pair of binoculars would have trouble mounting to the adapter, I'm not sure. As I said, this is my first impression review. I will update it with any comments, good or bad, if I notice anything that should be brought to a potential buyer's attention.

I've been looking for a sturdy, easy to use, binocular mount for my large 80 x 20 astronomical binoculars and I've found it. This mount fits right on my camera tripod using the 1/4" screw mount as found on most tripods. This mount should also work well on standard size binoculars and smaller tripods. The mount screws onto the front of the binocular hinge and tightens down snuggly so that the binoculars don't rock side to side so much unlike other binocular mounts that rock too easily. Don't misunderstand, the binoculars will still swivel with this mount but not as easily. Using small binoculars should result in an even tighter lock down. Overall, I'm very pleased.
