Everyone's likes and experiences are different I'll share mine.
I bought my Swaro 15x56's 10 seasons ago and purchased the tripod adapter at the same time, both still work like new and yes I use them a lot.
I have tried many tripod and head set-ups over that 10 years and for me I will never own another pistol grip head they seem to last a year or two then they are shot. For bino glassing I much prefer a ball head over anything else (currently using a Manfrotto 486 rc2). I can glass for hours fatigue free with this combo, only downside is that if you want to switch to a spotting scope then a ball head absolutely sucks.
I have a seperate tripod and head for my spotter (Manfrotto 701RC2 pan head) that also works for bino's.
