If and when, it's easy to simply drop the bino's and pop the spotter into place. Otherwise, it seems like a wasted move to dick around (and pay for and carry around) with the bino adapter.

and a couple of quick disconnects that fit your tripod head.
the Field optics adapter locks the binos on so there is no chance for them to fall off.

I have Nikon Monarchs 10x56 ATB so am a bit more limited due to the lack of space between the lenses for adapters. I bought the Nikon made tripod adapter specific for my binoculars.
Some of the third party adapters are only $20. The Outdoorsmans costs a little more at $60, plus the $28 Leica adapter. So $88 total, but cheaper than the $150 Leica made adapter. And at least you know it fits your model.
And it's less than the Swarovski $150 quick release mount. :-) Although that mount looks nice.

And don't let anyone talk you out of tripod mounting your binocular. It makes a huge difference and anyone who thinks that the other supposed "just as good" solutions are even close is probably trying to sell you some cockamaimie contraption that is a waste of money or has no experience w/a tripod mounted binocular where it makes a difference.

If you're underway while bowhunting (or don't want to unpack and setup) and need to stabilize quickly, while holding my bow grip, I prop my bottom limb(s)/cam on my thigh and use the top cam to help stabilize the bino's (while using remaining hand).

I have the one that Vortex makes and it works awesome, only $20
Just bought this one but haven't tried it. I'm a sucker for a lifetime warranty.

Ok one more question. With the Outdoorsman adapter should I get the tall one or the shorter? Doesn't really say the difference on the website, or why you'd need one vs. the other
I go tall to give a little more clearance between your face and the tripod head and you get a little more height if your tripod is on the edge of being a little short.

Hope this helps, outdoorsman products are great!
