I know Outdoorsmans. com will tap Swarovski binos for a tripod stud. Maybe they can do Zeiss.

Well I think it's already tapped I just can't get the cover off . I feel like I'm going to break something.

On the Swarovski there's 2 little gaps in the front cover that you can slip a small screwdriver in. Never held the Zeiss so I'm just guessing. Does it maybe thread off ?

It's inset so you can't spin it off. I thought it was just like a hard plastic plug but it sure seems like I'm going to break it prying it out. Nothing on the Internet's about it either.

I don't remember Zeiss being tapped.  But it's been a long time.

I take that back. It came in the box I got. The guy I bought them from may have bought it separately.

In htis video it looks like the Swaro adapter, but I would stop before I broke something.  Give Eagle Optics a call and they will walk you through it .
