Vortex makes one that is around $20. I have one and it's been great so far.

It's always an adventure!!!

Here is the link for the Vortex Bino adapter. It screws into the front of your binos and swivels. very lightweight.

Howdy,

Do NOT buy the PENTAX adapter. Don't get me wrong, it is a fine, even inspired product. But the attatchment screw is rubber armored. It is therefore so large that you cannot tighten it adaquately with the Cabella Euros. You just cannot get your fingers in the rather narrow space on those particular binos. I have the Meoptas... same bino... and have had this problemn!!!! With all my other binos the Pentax works fine!!! Hope this helps.

Doug,

Do you think that would work on a small bino, like my 8x30 SLC's. The one downside to these is that they won't connect to my tripod like my 15x56's and damn it any bino is better attached to a tripod.

Yes, I do think they will work with it

I got the vortex brand and it works great with the euros.For 25 bucks shipped you cant beat that price.

Agree

I picked one up and seems to work great. Order it through cameraland, lots cheaper than going through Vortex direct.

Outdoorsmans make a really solid tripod adaptor for most bino's. I had a chance to checkout this adapter personally at the Expo last February and liked it. It is a little spendy.

Jim White, designer of the Jim White tripod head, has some bino adapters available also. Might give him a call at 928-635-5316 and see if he can help you.

LAST EDITED ON Jul-07-08 AT 09:45PM (MST)[p]I would go with the Vortex adapter. If you dont already have this, you will also need a quick disconnect system to quickly remove and add the binos to your tripod. I went with the bogen RC2 adapter and plates. They are awesome. My set-up is a medium outdoorsmans tripod, swarovski 15x56 and spotter. Each adapter is around $25.00 and plates are only about $10.00. I have a plate for each of my optics, camcorder, gun rest, pistol grip head and fluid head. They quick disconnect in a snap, are pretty lightweight, rock solid, very sturdy and have a safety lock. I love them Good luck on your decision.
