Title: mounting optics on Primos trigger sticks
Post by: GBoyd on August 12, 2015, 09:33:51 PM: Has anyone done this?

I was thinking of mounting my 10x42 binos to my trigger sticks bipod, as a lighter-weight alternative for glassing far from the truck. Would you recommend fitting a tripod head to the 3/8 thread or is there a better option?

Then Outdoorsmans quick adapter for my Vortex binos (Steven Rinella Meateater uses this) attached to the manfrotto quick adapter plate

I also have a 1/4" to 3/8" adapter plate on a separate manforotto plate to quickly change to the primos "V"

An easy way to do all this is skip the manfrotto fluid head and look for a traditional Bino adapter tapped for 3/8x16 or do it yourself with a bottom tap. You'll have less movement of your binos but you'll save $100.
