Yep, Niv, mine are the same ones.

I made myself a really simple jig to attach the binos to a photo tripod. The difference with mine to the typical bono-to-tripod adapters is that it leaves the binos in line with the pivot point of the tripod, not 20cm above it. Means I can release the altitude clamp, point the binos to any height & not need to tighten the clamp - the binos stay put. Adapters that hold the binos way above the pivot of the tripod head are always unstable, particularly with big, heavy ones.

Here's a link to the jig I made:
