The Swarovski and Vortex bigs eyes I had in the past came with a sweet adapter to use with a tripod that screw on but the Leica's do not accept that type, what are folks using for these?

Here are a couple of choices.
If you do a search, Leica # 42220 is a universal binocular
mount with a rubber strap.

Also Nikon makes the Binoc u mount, # 820. I have this one
and is a universal mount, uses velcro straps.

The one mentioned above is for a small rangefinder, not for
a heavy binocular.

Nope, it's for a Leica LRF, and it works just fine with my Bushnell Fusion 10x42. It's very stout.

EDITE: The company that sells that mount recommended it to me for binos...

Jordan:

That one sounds good, but if it has to fit around a big
50-58 mm binocular over 40 oz. that would be the question.

Stability is important, and Leica recommends the one I referred
to above.

To be honest, the mount that I linked to looks far more beefy and stout than the Leica mount. The one I linked to is made in the USA of steel with a foam-padded bed for the bino to sit on, with a velcro strap that's plenty big to go around my 42mm binos. I would suspect it'd have no trouble going around larger binos, either.

I have been VERY impressed, considering the price.

I have seen the outdoorsmans products on MEATEATER TV and really liked the looks of the adapter the host was using but could not find it on outdoorsmans website. Will give them a call....

The outdoorsmans is what I would use. My brother has that mount on his Leicas.


Too close for irons, switching to scope...
