I use either Leica Trinovid 10x42s or Swarovski SLC15x56HDs on a Manfrotto 190x tripod with a 128RC pan head. Outdoorsmans studs on both binoculars, so the adapter never has to change, just pull one optic out, and plug the new one in. Brother had the same adapter to his tripod, so all our binoculars can interchange easily. I like the pan head, for glassing, so I can work a grid pattern, I think if I used a ball head, I'd get dizzy from moving the optics too much. The tripod is a bit heavy, I might buy a carbon one this year to try out.
