High quality construction and Realtree camo finish. I use it to adapt my 10x40 Monarch ATB bin's to a tripod when scouting out turkeys in the fields and hills prior to hunting.

With larger binocs (I have a pair of 12X56 Nikon Monarch roof prisms) you may have to use the supplied hex head screw rather than the standard knurled screw because of barrel interference . I had difficulty getting the knurled screw tight enough and need to carry a hex wrench in my binoc pack.

Interchangeable with all my binoculars. The sturdy construction added stability over plastic adaptors.

I bought this mount for my tripod to hold binoculars for astronomy. It is very well made and provides a stable view. The quality and engineering are excellent.

Overall, I'm very pleased with this tripod mount. I'm very happy with the price, the quality of construction, and how easy it is to use. My only gripe would be that it can be rather cumbersome, at first, to get everything adjusted. But I'm not sure how they would make it any easier, either. Adjusting the binoculars alignment can be a little annoying, and can tend to loosen a little to easily during use. But the annoyance is minor, and the benefit of using these with anything 7x or higher (I'm using them with a 10x pair of Nikons) greatly, greatly outweighs any small problems with getting the binoculars adjusted.
