Title: Vanguard Binos and Vortex Tripod
Post by: BenC567 on December 01, 2013, 01:13:53 PM: Is there any reason my Vanguard Binos won't fit a Vortex Tripod? Different size mounting hardware or awkward fit? I am buying the tripod online and don't want any surprises!

Thanks in advance!

All tripods come with their own quick release plate, this plate would attach to the bottom of your bino adapter, camera, spotter etc. -- I use several Vortex Optics on my Vanguard Espod Tripod with no issues at all, you just have to use the plates that come with the tripod!

I also just went and bought a Vanguard trigger handle that I used for my DLSR this past weekend that I would say has pro's and cons for sure.

If you need a pic I can send you one tonight when I get home... but still unpacking.
