Title: Vortex quick release
Post by: Fletch on June 20, 2024, 02:00:55 PM: I bought a vortex spotter with vortex tripod. Tripod has a quick release receiver on the top and came with an attachment for the bottom of the scope so you can clip it on and off. My issue is my windo mount has the typical screw to the bottom of the scope so if I switch from tripod to window mount I have to remove the attached plate. Is there a seperate receiver I can buy to screw into the window mount so I can just switch it back and forth?

These can be used to make all your tripod heads and base plates interchangeable. I have a couple different tripods and a window mount. All my optics, my camera, and all the tripods are the same and it sure makes it nice not having to swap base plates all the time!

Arca is definitely the way to go and sorry in advance but buying the adapters cheap off Amazon is supporting evil but who wants to pay 10x the cost for the same part without the brand name.
