Old binoculars

[zumka]

Hi Guys,

I have an old 20x80 Russian binoculars without tripod screw. Is there some sort of bracket I can buy to use them with my tripod ?

Thank you.

See attached idea.

And someone either posted a thread with a solution or maybe it is in "Projects & Articles" to the above left of this page.

EDIT - I think it was this thread from Dennis:-

I that a real product on the image above ?

Yes, I guess so. It was an image in an article on different ways of mounting binos, but it wouldn't link through to a product. But something similar could be easily made for specific binoculars.

daniel nikon make a bracket similar to eric's picture - google nikon binocular accessory & you should find it - the DIY version is a piece of pipe the bino barrels wll fit in -cut it in half, attach a bolt for tripod thread & some sort of strap to do up & hold them..
