All I've used is Swaro adapter, it came with the 15X binos. Kinda spendy if you gotta buy it separately.
Had another that wrapped around either side barrel, those binos were Leica with the rangefinder, the laser came out of the center pivot so the Swaro unit wouldn't work. It went down the road with the binos.

There's a basic one, Carson Tripod Adatper for binoculars with the thread between the ocular barrels. There is also the Nikon Binoc-U Mount Tripod Adapter #820 which has a hard base that connects to your tripos head and then the unit wraps around the binocular with 2 strong velcroe straps

Look really hard at the outdoorsmans stud and adapter if your binoculars are threaded for a stud. Stout, simple, low profile, well engineered, easy to use, never seen anything close

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I have the Leica Stabilite. Works great for my 8x32's all the way up to the 15x56 but was expensive.

Bog Pod makes an attachment for their system.

I'm looking for a solution also and that one is leading. Playing out the scenario where a game animal is actually spotted and it's grab and go time I don't want deal with a doohickey screwed into the front of my binoculars.
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense. Robert Frost

The outdoorsmans adapter doesn’t take longer to engage or disengage than anything else. The stud stays on the binoculars, out of the way, and it clips quickly into or out of the adapter. There’s no unscrewing involved.

The Bogpod is very good, the flat supports are better than any of the center post types, for stability. It is a matter of physics, if you use any of these, you will agree.
Berlebach makes another one, made of wood with a strap, will handle any binocular. The Nikon model, is more flimsy
I have all of these.
I would go that direction.

I have one of those. I also have one of Precision Rifle Solutions saddles. I use the saddle more than anything. It’s versatile and dynamic. I’ll lay the barrel of a long camera lens or a binocular, or balance a rifle in it. It’s super handy. For a binocular with a 1/4-20 thread on the hinge, I like the Vortex Uni-Dapter. http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/vortex-uni-daptor-binocular-tripod-adapter
